SQL Question

Post by Spot »

Hey,

Im trying to learn SQL and its coming along... OK i suppose. I can pick up on the programming side of things - but when I get into the database water - it gets a little deep so to speak :roll:

Anyways I was wondering a couple things:
1. Could someone explain to me or point me to somewhere that has. What the Types do, such as:
VARCHAR
TINYINT
TEXT
DATE
SMALLINT

and so forth. I understand that they are VERY important just implementing them Im not to clear on.

2. Does anyone know any good tutorials I could read over?

Thanks!

Are you using MySQL or another RDBMS?
