Rep Power: 0 | If it's MSSQL you are wanting to learn, you may as well learn the environment too - download the SQL Server Express edition. The GUI is very helpful when setting out. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/ You can also download example databases: (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en) although I have never used them . . . . |

Rep Power: 39 | @theriver Why limit yourself to one technology ? You don't need to learn 'the environment' to learn SQL. It is clearly more wise to able to implement technology on a variety of platforms. The same with scripting, why learn to do something that is only applicable to one platform (that will get outdated very quickly) when you could learn a competing, and often more robust technology that enables you to use it on a variety of platforms - far more logical and better transferable skills IMO. |
