I'm new to SQL. I've been using access. I haven't found anywhere on the web where I can read about SQL. How can I create a GUI for an SQL database. We use our database in the office for everything. We also would like a web interface, what's a good program for that (i.e. Coldfusion?)?
 
Microsoft SQL Server is much different than Access. It is a much bigger and more robust database engine. You can use virtually any language to create a GUI interface to SQL Server - the most commonly used being Visual Basic. You can also use C++ depending on your requirements.

For creating a web interface you can use Coldfusion or ASP.

To learn more about SQL Server, you can go to the Microsoft web site. If you already have SQL Server, the books online should be a big help.
 
You can also use Access for your GUI since you're already familiar with it. And just use SQL to hold your database/tables. Andel
