Learning Curve?

[crstuart99]

I'm mostly skilled with Access databases...Can someone tell me what the learning curve would be to learn SQL server? Any what's the best way to learn it?

Thanks!

Moderate. It takes some time to grasp different concepts; learning different syntax is kind of trivial depending on your skill level.

By reading BOL and asking questions

------
[small]select stuff(stuff(replicate('<P> <B> ', 14), 109, 0, '<.'), 112, 0, '/')[/small]

It all depends on your knowledge of SQL and/or VBA. If you are developing apps with VBA and SQL in Access, it will be an easy and rewarding experience. Things I did in VBA either filtered into Transact SQL or DTS.

If you are simply using the wizards wihtout any code, you will find setting up databases easy, but the real glory of Transact SQL will be much tougher.

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
