I am new to the SQL enviroment and I am looking for a good course to learn more. I have been in the computer industry for a long time but not exposed to this program. I am looking for some training videos/online/books in order to learn more not just to pass a test for certification. I thought I would check some forums and see if anyone could offer up any suggestions of companies/authors for a person that has computer knowledge but knows nothing about SQL.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It depends on what you're doing in the industry. I've been programming for just shy of 20 years, and didn't have the opportunity to work with a real RDBMS until 5 years ago. (I started in Clipper, and most companies/clients I worked with didn't want to change database formats when changing from DOS to Windows.)

Unfortunately, my first real RDBMS was a bad experience; I had to use ORACLE.
