the download for SQL 2008 Express just finished... why am i worried about installing it?????
I have Mirosoft SQL Server 2005 Unleashed (from SAMS) I found it very helpful. The might have one for 2008. As for SQL writing http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp maybe for basics and build from there.
Besides it being a resource hog, having clumsy administration utilities and having more options than the entire world of Linux... nothing. :DQuote:
