aj writes "Hi.

I'm very interested in learning SQL and SQL Server 2000. I am of above average intelligence, but have no prior programming experience. I am curious as to how long this may take to learn/establish "the basics". I apologize in advance if my question comes off as being foolish.

I've read that you're able to successfully use SQL Server 2000 without prior SQL experience. Is this true?

Ultimately, what would anyone suggest in terms of how to begin the learning (self-teaching) process? What are some good, recommended resources I may use either on-line or purchase, i.e. video tutorials, books, software, etc, etc. Any info or assistance would be greatly appreciated. I've run across an SQL Server 2000 tutorial video online and am considering purchasing it. The demo clips seemed well organized.

I appreciate any advice, suggestions, and recommendations.

Please feel free to email me directly.

Thanks!

Videos, books, and other courses are a great start. And then I suggest you come up with a project to work on that requires you to put your learning into practice. And of course there are a LOT of great articles on this site in addition to the discussion forums that will help you.
