What is the best book to learn SQL for application to a MS SQL database?
To be honest, the tutorials on this forum are excellent (and alot cheaper than buying a book). Also W3 Shools have great explanations of all the basic commands. I've never owned a SQL book in my life, and never felt I needed to.
My choice is Books Online (BOL), the help system which is installed with the client tools (if you are using an Express edition of SQL Server, download the free version of BOL - link in the thread at the top of this forum).
I second this.Quote:

How do i do those sql commands in VB.net?
Again, it's all in the tutorials. Mendhak wrote a particularly good beginners guide called something like an introduction to ADO.NET. Look though the tutorials, it shouldn't be hard to find.
