| Hi,I'm new to SQL but used it 2 years ago.Are there any really good books out there which can help me to improve on my SQL skills? Or maybe even labs. The w3schools site it really good but I would like to actually practice the example in a database to get a more depth understanding?Thanks |

| You can download SQL 2008 Express from Microsoft's site for free. Best way to practice is to get the real thing.JasonWebmaster at www.sqloptimizationsschool.com |

| I'd second the suggestion of downloading SQL Express and using that.Virtual labs are available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/aa570323 - I haven't used these though so I have no idea how good (or bad) they are. |
