Any website to know about RDBMS fundamental concepts

  • Hi All,

    I am back again with a query that may be simple to you but since am aspiring to be a DBA, thought of making my basics strong enuff.

    Can anyone suggest me few links or training videos kind of stuff where I can know more about the fundamentals of RDBMS ?

  • How fundamental is fundamental? Are you looking for a few practical basics, or for the underlying theory and the set-based math of that, or for a few definitions, or something else?

  • A few practical basics would serve the purpose and if I can have information about the other stuff mentioned by you, that would be really helpful and appreciated.:-)

  • There are a couple of easy ways to get simple basics in T-SQL.

    One would be get a For Dummies book, or something like that.

    Another would be look stuff up in Books Online.

    Yet another would be ask for help on pages like this one.

    MSDN.com has some good beginning tutorials. Walks you through the basics.

    There's always Google/Yahoo/Live/whatever, but that's sometimes less useful than you might wish, if you don't know what search terms to use.

    Might be a good idea to start with the MSDN tutorials. Download the Adventure Works database and go from there.
