I believe, thanks to your (previous) post, I was confused as to the difference between SQL and Database in general. I had thought learning SQL was learning database design. When in actuality, it's just the language used to access databases. I need to study database concepts and design. And I think that probably concludes my question to this post. While knowing SQL will be helpful, I believe I need to learn some about general database concepts. THANKS TO EVERYONE who helped me!!! It's very much appreciated, and I do mean that sincerely. Thanks for taking your time to help a novice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
