Hello @Minku,

 

I recommend Howard Schreier's excellent book PROC SQL by Example: Using SQL within SAS® (from which I learned it), especially if you already know some DATA step programming.

The basics of SQL are the same across many languages. 

I would try this tutorial first and then learning a SAS specific version. 

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/

 

And this paper covers the basics

There is rarely "one best book"
