Frank, do you mean for SQL in general or specifically related to R
working with SQL/MySQL?  

I think there are many tutorials on SQL and MySQL on the web and the
MySQL manual contains everything you ever wanted to know about MySQL
(and more that you'll probably hope you never want to know about :).
There are tutorials within the manual that I think are well-written
and clear.

For me the only thing I had to think about in putting it together was
when installing unixODBC (on linux) and even that was not too hard.  I
just had to create the .ini files because I had problems with
ODBCConfig.  

If you know a little SQL then the R Data Import/Export manual and the
RODBC help page are probably all you really need.
