Be warned that a lot of the SQL forums are aimed at full time professional developers, and can be quite 'brutal' with those of us that would still be considered "Noobs".
Luckily not me!
For some reason I seemed to grasp T-SQL quite easily, but I have witnessed some interesting "debates" on some of the more esoteric (or not) methods of doing things.
Some of the forum contributors are obviously extremely proficient and very clever, but once they have determined their "correct" way of doing things, you'd better be prepared to accept that they are absolutely right... Or else
