| Ok well since I dont see an edit button I will have to reply. I also wanted to say that I recently aquired the SQL 2005 Developer Edition from school and I am not really sure if I should be learning on that or the Express Edition. |

| If you just wanted to get started with most of SQL part (like writing queries, understanding new features in database engine, programming SP/UDF/triggers etc.), you can go for SQL Express.But if you are also interested in learning DTS, Notification services, creating jobs, service broker etc. you can get those features in Developer edition not in SQLExpress.BTW, you can edit your post by clicking on the third button in your post (the one with pen and book icon).Harsh AthalyeIndia."The IMPOSSIBLE is often UNTRIED" |

| Ok thank you for clearing that up. I went to the MS SQL Express website and it does seem that I should go that route first. |

| I have used "Beginning SQL Server 2005 Programming" by Robert Vieira as both a step by step learning tool and a quick reference as needed. Between this book, Books Online, and this forum, I have been able to find pretty much of what I needed.Più pranzo libero! |
