W3schools SQL Tutorial

I noticed that at w3schools the SQL Tutorial is not focused on MySQL for example, it says it covers the others too.

I know its just the basics at w3schools but is the SQL Tutorial still useful enough? seen as it doesn't focus on MySQL specifically.

 

Go here http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp


You will see

MySQL Introduction
MySQL Connect
MySQL Create
MySQL Insert
MySQL Select
MySQL Where
MySQL Order By
MySQL Update
MySQL Delete
PHP ODBC

Hope it helps you

 

Thanks very much Bohra, il work through that.

I guess it wont do me any harm to still go through the general sql tutorial too to still pick up that basic understanding of sql, as well as the info focused on php with mysql.

 

Yes, its more on the SQL general concepts and its applicabe..

 

Well if u want more advanced try http://www.tizag.com/mysqlTutorial/

 

Thanks Bohra, il take a look at tizag.

 

To answer you first post, it seems as though it is enough to cover basics. If you want to learn more, the best thing might bo to get a book. I find a book to be the best thing available to learn a language, program or tool because you can look trough it, come back, read it and not be in front of your pc: in the airplane, subway, home, outside on a bench,...

 

Do you have any book recommendations please?

 

It is going to be this type book: http://www.amazon.com/SQL-MySQL-Developers-Comprehensive-Reference/dp/0131497359.
Best thing would be to go to a book store and go choose your book there. There are going to be plenty of books to choose from on the subject. We all have different needs and a book needs to be chosen by its reader.

 

Thanks T.Guru, il take a closer look at your suggestion, i agree its probably worth me visiting one of the large book stores to have a browse through what they have too.
