I'm a C++ programmer who wants to expand his knowledge into SQL language because I'm dealing with QtSQL module and would like to understand it better.
I would like to find a gentle introduction to SQL language for a C/C++ programmer.
Can you suggest some reading or a particular tutorial?
See this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31982/looking-for-a-good-book-to-learn-sql
the highest rated answer recommends 2 nice books for beginners.
Coming from C++ field doesn't make much difference in this case in my oppinion. Start from basic stuff and you'll be fine!
For a nice web tutorial you can also check this: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
COMMENT: You should not ask for recomendations in SO (although judging by your reputation you are aware of the rules). There are already various answers for this question as it is too generic and subjective. Read some books and tutorials and come back with SQL coding questions ;-)

I need to learn C++. Because I like the book's concept and I can already program in several other languages I thought "Accelerated C++: Practical Programming by Example" would be the best choice. However, the book is over 12 years old. Is it still a good idea to pick it up or would I be missing too many important new features of the language?
It remains one of the best books around. It's based on C++98, but C++03 is more bug fixes than anything else, and most programmers can't use anything more recent anyway. As with most languages that have been around for awhile, recent evolutions can be thought of as either fine tuning, or additional features to handle new issues (like threading).
I read some C++ books, and i recomend C++ Primer.
The way the author teaches the language is very insterestig.
Besides its a "heavy" book, you can learn more deeply the language and how to avoid errors.

I've been wondering if these lecture notes from an Introduction to C++ course are good material for me to learn the language.
Does this material contain any gross factual errors in it? Will I learn some concepts in a wrong way with them? Will I get any bad practices from it?
The original MIT Open Courseware C++ course was unfortunately of very low quality, full of factual errors. The next one, from the mid-term course a year later, was much improved. And judging from a cursory review of the first PDF you link to, the current stuff is good.
However, as #Muggen remarked, you should better get one of the well known C++ books such as one of the books in the Stack Overflow C++ book list, e.g. Accelerated C++.
A book is much more complete and dependable.

Could you please, can any one tell me the best books/sites/blogs to learn DataStructures and Algorithms as a starting level?
in c++ language.
Thanks in advance.
For learning data structures and algorithms in general I'd recommend The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven Skiena (Google books link).
The definitive book would be Introduction to Algorithms. Try and get a used copy, it's not cheap.
As for sites, the SO tag data-structures has some great stuff in it too. You might want to look at the top questions there.

I looked and searched the web but could not found one book dedicated to Testing in C++. They are all more or less Java related with p.s. like examples should be easy converted to C++...
I would really appreciate a book on C++ Unit Testing and maybe a good book on general testing in C++.
It's not a book but you might find interesting things in Boost::Test.
See: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/test/doc/html/index.html to get more information and follow a tutorial on Boost's Unit Test framework.
If it's not on Google, I reckon it must not exist.
One more testing framework I recomend is CUTE, which is very easy to use

Does anyone know any good resources for learning TTCN-3?
All I've seen (through Google) is either toy demos that does not implement real codecs to a real language (i.e. no test adaptors so that your test cases actually talks to the networ), or the ETSI language references which are dry and not exactly helpful for someone to learn to navigate an existing test system.
Thanks!
Try this book, An Introduction to TTCN-3, http://amzn.com/0470663065
I started with this: http://ttcn-3.net/tutorial.html, there's a complete test case example, explained step by step and its implementation in C#.
Here you have some documentation from the TRex TTCN-3 refactoring and metrics tool
