    thanks for ready and thanks for the suggestions.

    I have been using MySQL for a few years. My current project requires me to use MS SQL. I'm looking for a few pointer web links to learn about the differences in MySQL to SQL. I will also be using PHP so any PHP/SQL links are appreciated.

    My client requires me to give them a DDL file for their SQL Server team to integrate. Is a DDL the same as a .sql file? How can i create a DDL?

    Is there a way to make a SQL DDL have permission for create/edit/remove tables and that's about it?

    thanks

    Not it is not! What are you talking about? DDL Scripts are any SQL scripts that affect the structure of a database. If this is a new application/site you are creating, they would prefer to have the DLL and the DML scripts (for data) separately for disaster recovery, creating test instances, etc.

    Why would you joke? How about being useful instead of just raising your post score.
