Hi,
I'm new here to the forum, and only slightly less new to programming. Does anyone have any books on databases that helped them when they started out?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Are you looking for books about database admin?
You need to specify which database. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, ...
They all have different underlying methods of storage and controlling data.
Even though they all work with SQL in similar ways.
Or writing SQL queries?
SQL From the Ground up, by Pyefinch was pretty good.
Or writing Procedural SQL?
-Nothing basic about that.
Or programming C# or C++ against a database?
-Not my field, someone else here will have to speak to that.
You might want to be more specific as to what your goal might be.
Is your objective simply to learn more about what is inside a database?
Relational Database Design by Harrington
Database Administration by Mullins
I've also had pretty good luck with integration books like "Oracle and Microsoft SQL server integration" because they tend to expose things I wouldn't otherwise have found out through comparison.
What's your poison?

If you are using Windows Forms, I found 'Data Binding with Windows Forms 2.0' by Brian Noyes, to be useful. It is all about programming in .NET, rather than database theory, but useful for that aspect of the development process. It also covers, briefly, ASP.NET.

Normally I avoid answering this type of question due to the fact that there are so many good books on the subject out there. This one though shines bright...

Just out of curiosity.
If you bump this value up
@strSQL varchar(2000),
to something higher like
@strSQL varchar(3000),
do you get a different error?
edit:
And I don't know if this matters but you've got a disagreement here:
[GLName] Varchar(200),
@f_GLName varchar(50)
[FileNo] Varchar(50),
@f_FileNo varchar(30)
Weird errors creep in on things like this down the road even if the language lets you do it. I saw one TAL issue that took months to figure out because a variable was cutting a value off with a method like this.

Huh ! you question makes no sense (at least to me anyway) try restating your requirement and see if it gets a more positive response.

Hello,
I have table in microsoft access with fields- partNumber, Date, Status.
( the status field always is one of two words - on or off
can I write a iif statement in sql that says IIf ([partNumber = a certain Date]), the status will automatically display off for those records with that part number.
I already have alot of records entered in database.
I have tried and not used to writing IIf statements in sql-
also wonder can you change a field that has data in it with a iif condition statement.
thank you

As I understand you then you want to display Status to OFF for some records which contain one certain data in field Date ?

Hello ! I'm doing little project and I need database for it, but not whole server. So I choose Access ... But that's pain in the a** 
I have a relatively simply query in which I need to do LEFT JOIN:
SELECT a.*, b.*
FROM a LEFT JOIN b ON (a.pid = b.pretplatnik_id) AND (a.iid = b.izdanje_id);
a and b are booth some other queries. I needed to do this because I can't do query inside a query in access And there's problem. It all works, except it shows only data from query a and nothing from query b. Everything from b is NULL. Interesting thing is that if I change part "LEFT JOIN" to "INNER JOIN" it returns booth results from query a and b. So does anyone have an idea why LEFT JOIN isn't working ?
Thanks for your time and help
