  I think a good beginner project would be to write a simple checkbook system in T-SQL and then expand on it with thinks like allocation categories in the "memo" of a check, etc and maybe even expand it to a classic "double-entry" system and then grow it to handle more than one checking account and then to handle both checking and savings accounts.  Well, at least that used to be a good place to start.  I actually don't know very many people that actually know how to strike a balance in a checkbook anymore.

  RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
