Hi does anyone know of a program that tests you on your ability to write SQL.

I am trying to learn but its hard to cover T-SQL unless you are actually writing it everyday.

Does anything exist??

Thanks

Forget about a program, just get Ken Henderson's books. I've got all 3.

Try out his code and see if you understand it.

If you're looking for something to test your skills and get feedback on your qualifications, you might look into something like Brainbench.

Am looking for some test program on SQL syntax.

Or something that is pure t-sql that gets you up to speed fast.

Thanks

What does "test program" mean? Are you looking for training software that will teach you everything you'll ever need to know about T-SQL in 10 easy lessons? It's like learning any foreign language. You need to be able to practice it in order to really become fluent. So, do you have a SQL Server or MSDE you can work with? Have you tried Google?

If you have SQL Server installed, then Query Analyzer is the program to use for this.
