I was going to suggest O'Reilly's Transact-SQL Programming, but it's apparently out of print. Do you have access to Safari Books Online through your institution?

The online documentation at msdn isn't great, but it's not horrible. That's usually what I use. I mean, usually it's just a matter of looking up how it implements SQL and some of the local variants. (Do you need recommendations for books on SQL?) Jon Gorman
