how can I jump start my SQL Server skills (particularly on transact SQL)

Hi,

Can some participants in this forum provide ideas on suggested training for somebody with a basic knowledge of SQL (started working in this field 6 months ago and still feel like a newbie beginner).

I assume I should focus on getting T-SQL nailed down before delving into the SSIS piece of SQL Server 2005?

Maybe there are a few companies that seem to give good practical knowledge and are located in the greater Los Angeles metro area?

Is it better to get certified through a 1 week or 2 week course via companies like Trainingcamp - does that really give you the practical skills to jump up several levels at one does at work?

Hope I can get some suggestions or direction on where I could best post this question for answers.

Regards,

Patrick

Hi, I am located in Germany, but I got an opinion about certifications made in 1-2 weeks. Certifications as from my point of view, demonstrate and proove the experiences and knowledges someone have in a kind of area.It sure can be a dooropener in some jobs ooputunities, but the most HR people I know look on the time line this certification was achieved, during 1-2 weeks always seems that you braindumped everything which wouldn′t shine a good light one you. So I would first study and take some training and then get the certifications done. I doubt that this can be done within 1-2 weeks.
