SQL

[MichaelMHP]

Hello everybody! I've been lurking here for about 4 months now, and of all of the forums I participate in, this one is by far the most amiable and helpful I have experienced. Hats off to all of you for all of the info I have learned thus far...

On to the question- I do some database admin for my company, and have great interest in learning SQL. I am almost entirely self trained with what I know so far (no corp training budget) and I am looking for any resources you may know that would help. I'm nowhere near a programmer, but I do okay so far.

Any suggestions you may have would be more than welcome!

TIA,
Michael

Hi and Welcome to the PCGuide forums.

Google Search HERE (http://www.google.com/search?q=learn+SQL&sourceid=opera&num=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) to get you started.

Are there any specific aspects that you want help with or specific software that you wish to use it with. The basic language itself is quite easy to build within Queries in MSAccess, from where you can copy it to use elsewhere. The most problematic areas I had at the start were using "Criteria" in Queries or "Where" conditions in VBA; i.e. getting these parameters in the correct format and the correct syntax of strings "within strings" in VBA spot-on took a bit of working at.
