    Unhappy Do i need to know programming to create an SQL database?

    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.

    Yea; typically you would need to know SQL syntax to work with databases... But SQL is a very easy language to learn, and you can pick it up fast. There are many tools that make programing in SQL a lot easier, but you would need an understanding of the language in order to use these tools effectively.

    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.
