I don't buy this. LPIC-1 candidates had to know about join(1) for just about as long as I can remember. From there to the basic SQL JOINs that the new exam requires doesn't exactly look like a giant leap to me. I've put up the chapter on SQL from our »Advanced Linux« training manual on http://www.linupfront.de/download/grd2-en-sql.pdf This contains what I consider a reasonable quick-and-dirty introduction to SQL for LPIC-1 candidates. Feel free to look at this and send me comments. Anselm (This is my personal opinion and not that of Linup Front GmbH.) -- Anselm Lingnau ... Linup Front GmbH ...
