CAM Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Found this which may be of use. I've been playing around with SQL Express at home and learned a heck of a lot from this tutorial. SQL Server Tutorial
LosOjos Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 That looks like quite a complete tutorial, thanks for sharing One thing that would have saved me hours of head scratching early on; when you're Googling for answers, search for T-SQL to make sure you're getting the right kind of help; due to it's open source nature, a hell of a lot of the help out there gives MySQL syntax which is not the same thing!
vikpaw Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I find a lot of answers on msdn and also a guy called pinal dave on sqlblogauthority or some such website. just throw your google query together with 'pinal' . I prefer simple guides like that rather than myriad stackexchange articles where you get conflicting viewpoints. I'd rather see a solution and make my mind up if it works for me.
LosOjos Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 @vikpaw - I find Stackexchange is an incredible resource if you already understand the concept but are looking for ways of implementing it; it's not great for learning something new though because, as you say, you get conflicting opinions on how to do things.
