best SQL Server crash course

  • Hi there,

    I just got a job on SQL server and need to gather info on what is the best training out there. I worked in Access and Sybase before, but I really need a primer in SQL Server. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, Radu

    and select topic and learn.

  • The fact that you found this website means your on the right track.  Try the "Best of SQL Sever Central" books.

    I like the microsoft press books too.

  • Thanks much for the advice. I'll check out the books first since we are running SQL Server 2000 and don't know when we may upgrade to 2005.

    Sure it is... and it's still, ummm... "surprising" that companies will hire people for SQL Server without them really knowing anything about SQL Server. 😛

    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.
