I was just looking for opinions on the best place to pick up SQL skills. Community college course? Online courses? Grad school? I've finished undergrad, if that helps anyone have an idea of my current situation.

There are many ways beside classroom training, whichever it is choose one that suites your needs and situation.

1. Visit this site, attempt to answer the question and help others whenever you can.
2. Online tutorial, sites like

3. Whatever you do, stay away of some of those training CDs / DVDs. Read the reviews, google for it before purchasing or using it.

[code]1. Understand SQL concepts by reading
2. Start with some SQL exercise
3. Attempt to solve
4. Errors
5. Goto step 1
6. Goto step 3
7. No Errors, Unexpected output
8. Read Question Again
9. Goto Step 3
10. No luck still
11. Post question here with expected output and sample data
12. Somebody helps out
13. Try to understand answer piece by piece
14. Ask specific questions if not understood properly
15. Next exercise[/code]
