soql reference guide

Is there a reference guide for using soql?  I have the apex, visualforce and api reference guides.  Just curious if there is a guide specifically dedicated to soql.
 
Are there any other online resources for the api, apex or visualforce that anyone would recommend?
 
Thanks.

SOQL is documented in the Web Services API Developer's Guide.  There is not an entire standalone guide dedicated to it.

Dman -

One document which is very helpful, but not that apparent, is the BNF for SOQL, which lists all allowable syntax.

I assume from your number of posts that you have internalized the differences between SOQL and SQL, but for those who have not, there is an answer in this FAQ that might be helpful too.

Of course, the usual doc suspects, including the Developer Guide.

Hope this helps.

I highly recommend this article for those getting started on SOQL:
