Our current DBA(we'll call him Obi-John Kenobe) may be getting promoted out of his position. I am going to try and pick up some of his work. Need a good starting point for beginning to learn T-SQL and immerse myself in all of the DBA glory. Am thinking of picking up "Beginning T-SQL 2008" - the author I 'bing-ed' and followed to this site - and wanted to know if there were any other suggested readings that would point me in the right direction. I feel like I am trying to fill in the Grand Canyon with a garden shovel.... Any and all info is appreciated. If allowed, [email address removed] if not I am sure someone will edit that out...
Thanks,
Roger J.
