Looking for helpful SQL programming

I am going to be starting to work with SQL and VB for my company and if anyone can give any ideas on what I can do to learn SQL very weel let me know please!🙂
 
I learned some Basic SQL functions through Microsoft Access. I'm not an experienced user, but i believe Access might be a good place to start with some hands on projects.
 
Firstly, welcome to AnandTech

My first stop for learning SQL would be Here
It covers the basics and is a good place to start.

Next step would be to get a good book on the subject, if you are using Oracle as your database I can thoroughly recommend any Oracle book published by O'Reilly, all the ones I have come across have been great. Other people may be able to recommend other books for different databases.

Also, you can post any questions you have here on the forums, I'm sure there will be someone to answer them 🙂
 
For MySQL, pick up the New Riders book MySQL by DuBois.
Has a good tutorial, excellent reference section and tutorials on database programming for 3 languages (C, PHP, Perl).
Overall, one of the best programming books I've ever used.
