I only know SQL in MS Access...

We use it in SQL Server. I don't really understand the differences between the SQLs (like I know there's also MySQL) but most of them are pretty similar I think.

I need to write a lot of queries and I get so confused because I'm not used to using SQL for stuff that I would do in Excel...

Yes. Can you learn it and do my work? You'll get to know more about me.

Hessah 07-14-2015 01:27 AM

Yeah I never fully understood the SQL language...

I wish I understand programming language more... When I go to conferences for my work's database system, I feel like I'm missing something coz I understood most words that people said but can't understand it as a sentence...

Lollll yeah or when you try and get help from a coworker and they tell you how to do it and you don't understand what they told you to do...

I started one of those online courses but I need to know how to do everything now not learn the basics first..... x_x

Where's Tama....

Hessah 07-14-2015 03:02 AM

Is the online course free?!

Ralath 07-14-2015 03:54 AM

Yeah there's a lot of these courses:

https://www.khanacademy.org/computin...rogramming/sql

I like Khan Academy because they gamify it and you can get badges and stuff lol. The first SQL basics lesson I didn't think was that useful because I don't need to build/create databases and I definitely wouldn't do it by inserting row by row. But it's helpful for better understanding on databases in general I guess.

But there are some more advanced options too from Coursera or other MOOCs.

Cool I might check it out and see if it'll help with my database at work... we don't use SQL.. I don't think.. but the way to think and the logic might be similar..

Ralath 07-14-2015 04:43 AM

I think the query writing stuff should be pretty similar.

Lirange 07-14-2015 06:21 AM

I lied I do know it, quite good at it actually hehe. What do you need help with?

Those are relational databases and SQL is how you access the data in those databases. Microsoft Access is another one. They're all fairly similar, though some functions may be named differently or even unavailable in certain databases. Syntax may differ a bit. But overall, if you know how to perform queries in one relational database, you know how to perform it on others.
