Newbie questions

  • Hey all, I found your site a few days ago and am learning quite a bit. I am working at a company, and they want me to learn SQL. I have a background in graphic design, so I am not big on code. All my website design is graphic based (dreamweaver etc.) It's hard for me to read code for a long period of time. I found sqlcourse.com, and learned some basics from there. But I want to learn more. Are there any tutorials on the net that any one can recommend? Thanks in advance.

  • Take a look at this thread:

    It's in reply to pretty much the same question.

  • Cool, thanks for the quick responses. The w3 one seems to be the most helpful so far. Thanks!

  • If you have time, you probably want to have a look at some things on basic database design, because you will probably end up having to design tables, add columns, and all sorts of fun stuff.

    Plus it will also make the SQL stuff you learn make more sense.

    If you google 'database design', you will find this and many more.

    Hope this helps! Have fun! 😀

    If it was easy, everybody would be doing it!;)

  • Awesome, thanks. I am using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express if this helps any. I am trying to find some tutorials on using that as well.

  • I know that you said online, but I would highly recommend Murach's SQL Server 2005 for Developers. Once you've worked your way through it, you have a handy reference, too.
