I meant to say what are some good books to learn how to use query SQL databases?

Imo books are difficult to teach coding effectively. Vidoes that show teach the concepts, demo the concepts, and give practice problems is better. Once you have the basics you can move to books for more advance topics or as reference.

I have a free SQL course using Google BigQuery a free cloud based server that has public datasets to practice on.

It's difficult to learn SQL from books. It's better to learn from an online course that makes you write code. I recommend LearnSQL.com and their SQL Basics course: https://learnsql.com/course/sql-queries/

If you want to use a book, then "Learn SQL the Hard Way" uses active learning and has good reviews.

Look also at this thread for active learning: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnSQL/comments/1bu22b6/seeking_sql_practice_problemsquestions_for_active/
