Before anyone decides to call that responder out on this comment, someone already did, and followed with a generic recommendation: What about programmers who work in image processing, 3D graphics, games development, device driver development, real-time image rendering, systems programming, embedded systems, and so on? Such fields tend to be heavily focused on implementing and optimising algorithms or interfacing with hardware, and often don't even encounter persistence, let alone data management as we typically understand it. For programmers who have been working in these fields but are moving into developing (for example) business applications, I think almost any introductory database text would be a suitable starting point. -- Darren Duncan _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
