I would like to begin learning about DB programming, and I'm not quite sure where to start.
Before I add MSSQL 2000 to my hosting plan, the question that comes to mind is, how do I develop a
DB app on my local machine? Do I have to buy MSSQL 2000 and install it on my PC? That is way too
much money for me (and, I would think, most people), so I hope there is an alternative -- maybe
using Access in the dev environment, and then transferring the info to the MSSQL DB on the server?
If so, does that same code used with Access work with MSSQL?
I guess what I'm looking for is an overview of how to get started with all this when I will be using
MSSQL 2000 at my site. Also, I would like any recommendations as to reading material, i.e. books,
Web sites, etc. that might help get me going.
Thanks,
George
