Hello. I'm 15 years old only, but really interested in math and I'm curious what do You do in work (excepting having fun and chillin' ;))? I know a bit about MySQL and I'm now trying to write some simple queries in SQL Server Management Studio Express (I'm using MS SQL Server 2005), but I'm sure in Your work You use other programs? What should I look for and start with? I know this topic sucks and many/most of You use stuff that is worth xxxxxxx USD on specialized computers/servers but I had to ask, because I was trying soo hard with programming, and then I've found database management, and I'm excited, because it's very interesting. I have no idea why, but it's not even boring to me (yet), and maybe I will work in this business in future (I really, really hope that).

Thank You for any help/support.

Read: An Introduction to Database Systems by C.J. Date.

If you can stay awake, then you might make it. :) Just kidding, but it is a good foundation into the relational world.
