SQL Query Language

[[uGa] Saint]

Does anybody have any good suggestions on learning SQL? I have learned the basics, I just want to get a firmer grasp on the subject. Any ideas of books or sites to read? Any help would be extremely appreciated.

SQL is a querying language...just FYI.

Any Oracle DB book should be able to give you a good idea as to syntax and stuff.

select * from forums where user = '.saint.' and b00n <> 'true';

0 rows returned

Informix is also a good database to reference if you want to look at some SQL statements.

SELECT *
FROM la_merc_members
WHERE screen_name LIKE "LA_MERC_}{%"
AND user_status = "Lost as all get out!"


Records found: 1
