About a year and a half ago, I took the official Microsoft course,
"Implementing a Database With SQL Server 7.0" and found that course to
be very helpful. The course covers everything you mentioned below.
You'll have to check around your area to see if there are any Microsoft
training sites near you. I can't remember how much it cost, but it was
about 3 or 4 days long.
I know Oracle has some courses as well.

Subject: SOT: Training Recommendations
Hi All -
I'm hoping someone can recommend some ColdFusion training that focuses
on a variety of topics at the database level, especially including:
* Database Design Techniques
* Implementing Stored Procedures
* Designing and Using Triggers
* Joins
I started using ColdFusion on a very casual, teach-myself-as-I-go basis
back when CF3 was the latest and greatest. I am very confident with my
ColdFusion specific skills, but continue to find that my SQL skills (or
lack of) are holding me back. I get especially confused with joins, and
moment I prefer to use the old ANSI 88?? style joins. However, when I
need to do any complex nested joins, I find myself relying on Access's
query builder because I absolutely can't figure out how to write them by
hand. I also have very little knowledge about stored procedures,
triggers, indexes, etc. I've been able to gather that stored procedures
and triggers can make a world of difference performance-wise, and I feel
as-if I'm providing a a great disservice to my customers by not knowing
how to properly evaluate when I should be using implementing
stored-procedures, triggers or whatever.
Overall, I want to improve my database design and SQL skills, but I want
the information I learn to be delivered in a way so that it's always
relating back to ColdFusion.
Any suggestions?
