Guy; I have worked with Unix for about 20 years, but have not worked in a production environment for the last 3-4 years. I am thinking about going back into the field, but I really need to freshen up and get to know some new tools.
I have here at home a Windows XP Home Edition, version 2002, Service Pack 2 computer. Does anyone know of a free package that I can install at home to start to work with SQL? Thanks...
