For starters, I was looking for something like this.
http://www.sqlcourse.com http://www.sqlcourse2.com These two sites will allow me to just start to learn SQL. But, I am moving forward with the PostgreSQL install today...

Which most database documentation does not cover, and why I find the old InterBase documentation to be invaluable. Why do you think current sites link to/host documents that were drafted over a decade ago? At the same time those documents contain information gathered over a few decades. Since it covers things relating to design and database fundamentals. Its still very relevant, useful, and informative to this very day. For those who take the time to read and benefit from it. I believe in it so strongly, I bought copies of something that is freely available online. At one point when I hired someone off this list. I sat them down with that book at one point as well. They are welcome to comment about that if they recall. I will likely do the same for any further employee that is unfamiliar with databases or core fundamentals. -- William L.
