Hey guys,

Finally got my hands on SQL Server 2000 :D

Thing is, I'm totally new to it, I'm so used to little ol'MySQL. Anyone here know of any really good books or sites that have nice newbie tutorials for me?

I just want basic books or tutorials that goes over DDL and DML statements. Not too concerned with tutorials on creating and altering databases, but rather on table manipulation.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks!

mcse training kit books
not sure how much they are or where to get them from i got mine from my university.

but i would get the mcse sql server training kit.

From the stuff I've done SQL Server 2000 and MySQL have a lot of similarities. Mostly because of the SQL standard specification I suppose. You might be surprised how much you already know how to do.

If you're looking for a reference more than a step-by-step tutorial, then this might be what you need:

If you're used to MySQL you might be able to glance at these reference pages and catch any minor variations. If it's not what you need, let me know, I'm sure myself or someone else can help you find something more specific.
