Okay, just as I was beginning to get a handle on null, Steve comes along. ;^)

I was beginning to think null in SQL was equivalent to empty in FMP. I...

I had to reread your comment before I understood that we are basically agreeing with eachother. I assumed joins between the tables when I mentioned creating many of them but...

Thanks, Kelly, you have set my mind at ease. It seems SQL Server behaves much the same way as FileMakerPro in regard to missing data and can be analyzed similarly....

Oops, sorry Steve. Guess vacation was a little too long. ;^)

I haven't selected a book to prep for 70-229. I am kind of waiting for the New Rider book to...

Thanks for the best wishes! I'm sure you'll get tired of seeing my posts once I start studying after Christmas. ;^)

Pat Phelan at PASS suggested starting with the Celko...

A wealth of help. Don't worry, I'm not taking the exams just for the letters, I'm looking to extend my company's client base by increasing the range of services we...

I have the same question. I want to take the 2 SQL 2000 exams for my electives in pursuit of my MCSE. I'll be taking SQL as an independent study...
