Ok, let's just say you did not mean to ask for any copyright protected material to be "shared" with you...
Learning SQL and database programming can be done with a gazillion books and websites out there. So, the search engine of your flavour is your best tool in this case.
Here however, are a some pointers to what I personally found very useful during my journey so far:
- Lex de Haan and Toon Koppelaars, Applied Mathematics for Database Professionals,
- Database in Depth, C.J. Date, O'Reilly (more theoretical approach)
- Any book from Joe Celko on SQL - these are classics
- Inmon - Building the Data Warehouse
- Blogs, Articles and Books from Tom Kyte, Cary Millsap, Jonathan Lewis, Richard Foote (all Oracle related, but a lot is about general system design, analysis and SQL)
- Many SAP notes, walk-throughs, presentations, chats from/with/of Martin Frauendorfer
- Simple Talk: SQL Server and .Net articles, forums and blogs
- As a try-out tool SQL Fiddle is my current favourite - would be great to get it to support HANA, too
- http://code-fight.club/?language=sql more on the entertaining side

Beyond that there are of course plenty of free online learning classes.
In my experience however, practice makes master, so try to solve certain tasks with SQL. The Celko books are just great for that.
Ok, this should get you started and busy for the rest of the year (given you've actually got a real life, too).
