In PROC SQL by Example: Using SQL within SAS, author Howard
Schreier illustrates the use of PROC SQL in the context of the SAS

Using a side-by-side approach, this concise reference guide
includes many extensively explained examples showing equivalent
DATA step and SQL code, enabling SAS users to take advantage of
existing SAS skills and knowledge while learning about SQL.
Discussions cover the differences between SQL and the DATA step
as well as situations where SQL and the DATA step are used
together to benefit from the strengths of each.
