| Hi allAs I'm very new to this, I'm looking (preferably) a website that will give me a list of the keywords for SQL, the syntax and a definition of what that keyword means.Anyone know of a book/website that will give me what I'm after? |

SQL Server has built-in documentation called...wait for it...Books Online.  You can use the local copy on your computer (if you installed them) or go here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms130214.aspxThere are version-specific Books Online, there's a drop down to select them. The list of reserved SQL Server words is here:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189822.aspx |

| Again, Books Online. It's HTML based and fully indexed, especially the locally installed copy. |

| Yes, it creates a link in the same Start Menu group as SQL Server. There's a separate folder inside for "Documentation". |
