Re: sql question

Hi,

I don't know if it's useful, but there are a number of SQL tutorials
available at
http://www.newbienetwork.net/sections.php?op=listarticles&secid=5 and
there is a list of all sorts of useful PostgreSQL & SQL resources
(including tutorials) at http://techdocs.postgresql.org/oresources.php

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
