| Hello, Im new so please be gentle. I'm just in the midst of studying for the SQL2K admin exam, and was going to to the Design exam straight afterwards. Ive heard that a person is much better off learing T-SQL before doing the design exam, is this the case? I will learn T-SQL anyway, but I'm wondering if learning before the design exam will make life easier for me?Thanks for reading.D.Yes, we have no banana's. |

| HahahaYes, you must learn it.Why the hell are you going for the exam if you don't know any SQL ??????????? That's like saying, "should I learn to operate a motor vehicle before doing a driving test ?".Damian"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." - Emerson |

| Why am I taking the design exam before learning t-sql? Well, I dont know to what extent T-SQL features in the exam, I thought it might be a case of t-sql being present in the exam, but does not require a good knowledge of it. Example, in a windows exam, somtimes you only need to know what something does ( like certain AD tools ) rather than having to know how to use them, because that is covered in a later exam. I have purchased a good book to learn T-SQL from, so I guess I will go through it in-between exams.Damian, thanks for taking the time to answer. I take it you are refering to the Design exam, I think I may have anwsered your question, but if you are referring to the admin exam, well, I have to start somewhere.Madhivanan, thank you very much for the links.Regards,D.Yes, we have no banana's. |

| You are right, you do have to start somewhere, what Damian is saying is that T-SQL is the main backbone of SQL Server, so if you are learning SQL Server, the best place to start is by learning T-SQL. The best way to learn is follow the links posted by Madhivanan. After this you will get the idea..Another good way to learn is set up a trace file to capture the SQL Enterprise manager uses whenever you do something with the GUI.. |
