Hello,
I'd like to be able to design a web based searchable
database. I think that learning SQL would be a good way
to start. Can anyone recommend some introductory on-line
classes? I assume that that would be the way to go as the
class would provide the necessary server.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Ellen,

First of all, I would recommend dotnet, specifically asp.net for this.

A quick search of Google on "sql server tutorial" gave me 561,000 hits
including http://sqlzoo.net/ (A Gentle Introduction to SQL) but I
think it is far more efficient to initially learn the basics of a
technology cohesively from a good book than from bits and pieces
online - works that way for me at any rate. The problem is that the
other way sure you learn some SQL but it may be very different from
what you are going to see when you look at another little tutorial on
user interface or Internet Information Service - it can be quite
frustrating trying to pull it all together later.

Thanks, Peter. I just put in an order for "Sam's Teach
Yourself SQL" by Ben Forta. I assumed a server would be
necessary, but it it isn't--the simpler the better.
