New to SQL but want's to learn!

Hi,

I was wandering if anyone could please recommend a good book to learn the basics of SQL 2000? I have made connections etc to a sql db through Visual Studio but would really like to read up on the subject and get a complete grounding on the subject. And also prepare me for the exam 70-229.

Many thanks,
James

Hi

If you need to learn the exam for SQL, you are best buying the Microsoft suite of books for that exam but I can tell you this, it is not easy AT ALL.

To learn SQL, its best looked at examples, reading books again and trial and error.

C-sharp corner website is a good place, but also posting here is a good idea too and I am sure many people will help you out.

There is alot of ground to cover, so start with the basics and move on upwards.

New Template, open exsisting, any way to call reporting wizard now?

Any way to load my new template, and then call wizard? seems wizard is
not accessable if after I start with open existing item.
Can anybody recommend and easy to follow book on on reporting services
2005?
dumb question, say I have a grouping report like this
group
detail detail datetime
detail detail datetime
detail detail datetime
and I want to change the background color any datetime fields that
elapsed more than 4 hours since last entry to red. How? where? what?
Thanks.In the background color - have an expression :
I hardcoded the date/time below as an example, but this would actually be
your Fields!dtDateField.Value and getdate() would be Now()
If it is greater than 4 hours, it is displayed in red, otherwise blue - but
=iif(datediff(hh, '10/27/06 8:00:00AM', Now()) > 4, "Red", "White")

the row.
But, the thing I really stuck on is the report design, if I'm limited
to one dataset the group. Can I have two datasets in a groupset, or
will I have create a view with duplicating data?
I have two tables
filelog:
id
filename
datelog:
id
date
type
I'm trying to do this
Id
filename, filename, filename (line wraping if neccessary)
date type
date type
id
filename, filename, filename (line wraping if neccessary)
date type
date type
==there might be some 5 to 20 filelog rows for every id, there can number
of datelog entries with the same id, but other than Id there is no
other corrilationbe between filelog and datelog
