SQL

[Jeff Barnes]

Hi,

I would like to start using an SQL database instead of the good old DBF database (this is my first try at sql so please forgive me if I have some terms incorrect)

Has the SQLWIN rdd been completed ?
Does this rdd let us use standard dbf commands or do we still need to know sql commands?

Are there any good free sql server apps out there?

Does anyone know of a good "beginners guide" or "SQL for dummies" type website?

This is a free website and is very informative. You can learn all these from the scratch

Not only SQL, but many more that will be useful in relation to web

Thank you. I will take a look at it.

Also look a www.connectionstrings.com .. ADO is the way to connect to SQL and it is the provider that changes .. not necessarily the syntax .. the connection string changes based on the SQL provider ..

Search the forum for ADO .. you will find lots of syntax and examples ..
