I am getting back into IT, and i am learning has much has i can, i am reading SQL 2005 for dummies, from what i am seeing you need to have some programming basic to work in SQL.
Not sure if i need a lot of programming or there are wizards and menus to help me true this?
I don't know much at all but at my previous job acted as the go between our company and the programmers and yes I would think what you can do in SQL without knowing some Basic is very.....well Basic...OHH CHRIST!
On a good note Basic is very easy to learn as its a lot more logical/familiar particularly VB than most languages.
thanks i guess i can look into this and find some courses on the internetQuote:

I only know how to use SQL for SQL injection... ;)
You need to know SQL syntax, but imo, SQL isn't considered a "programming language". SQL is just a bunch of commands that you issue to query information out of a database, which makes it much easier than learning a full programming language. I'd say the difficulty is somewhat analogous to learning HTML
SQL is the easiest languange to work with. Instead of reading, it's much easier to work with a database and maybe use a book as a referrence where you need it.
If you are JUST creating mySQL databases it's pretty easy.
