urgent sql help!
« on: October 19, 2006, 11:39:36 PM »
Gents:

I'm about to get my ass inside a new company and they are asking me for SQL knowledge, the problem is that I always worked with other stuff such us routers, Proxies, etc, and I'm a bit rusty with this SQL shit.
So if any and I mean ANY of you know about where to get good info about the queries and commands I will be more than grateful.

Thanks beforehands,

I'm pretty sure that guy that posts as "John Kerry" knows a lot about SQL.

I hear the internet is a good place to start learning!

If you've got $20 to blow, get yourself a domain and a couple months of hosting with Godaddy.com.  Then you can set up sql stuff and experiment with it.

I know that the Internet is an awesome place to learn and I'm doing it right now, but I was looking for some book or some site that can help me to catch up basically on launching queries.
Thanks for the advice tho...

I know this is sort of random, but did you know that the Australian bird's name, the kookaburra, means "laughing jackass"? Just wanted to share that.
