Re: [CODE4LIB] Learning Microsoft SQL

[Tod Olson]

If you do continue down the MS SQL road, bear in mind that MS SQL is basically  
a fork of Sybase, and they share Transact SQL. So most of the Sybase 
Transact-SQL documentation will apply. You can find the Sybase Transact-SQL 
User's Guide at:

Re: [CODE4LIB] Learning Microsoft SQL

[Dan Scott]

I can't resist saying that, for truly free (as in freedom), you might want to 
work with something like PostgreSQL. 

I wrote up an "Introduction to SQL" focused on PostgreSQL & Evergreen a few 
years ago and released it under a CC-BY-SA license (per 
http://coffeecode.net/archives/212-Introduction-to-SQL-for-Evergreen-administrators.html
 ); the source for the introduction is at 
http://bzr.coffeecode.net/intro_to_sql/introduction_to_sql.txt  

Even though there are some PostgreSQL-specifics in the introduction, most of 
the same principles apply. Maybe it will be of use to you or someone else!

[CODE4LIB] Announcing Digital Library Infrastructure Lead at Notre Dame

[Rick Johnson]

 Apologies for Cross-Posting *

I am happy to announce an exciting opportunity available in our rapidly 
expanding Digital Library Services Department within the Hesburgh Libraries at 
the University of Notre Dame.

Reporting to the Digital Library Services Department Head, we are seeking a 
senior candidate with strong software development and leadership skills to lead 
and implement automated services to support digital initiatives for both the 
Hesburgh Libraries and the wider campus community. Collaborating with the 
Digital Library Services Department Head and Digital Library Applications Lead, 
the incumbent will lead digital library infrastructure design to ensure access, 
discovery, security, data integrity, and preservation of unique library 
collections, campus research data, and conference event data. The incumbent 
will lead creation of complex software services to automate capture of 
metadata, archive data files, transform image and video files, automate 
digitization, and aggregate information from multiple sources. Because this is 
an area with constantly shifting needs, this individual must have a strong 
foundation in server-side software design as well as a high aptitude for mast!
 ering new skills and technologies quickly. This position will participate in 
cross departmental and organizational groups with partners from the Center for 
Research Computing (CRC), OIT, University Archives, and researchers to support 
research data management efforts throughout campus. This position will 
coordinate the efforts of multiple developers across multiple projects.

In collaboration with universities such as Stanford, Virginia, and University 
of Hull, the incumbent will also contribute to an open source project called 
Hydra (http://hydraproject.org) to create groundbreaking digital library 
applications, tools, and services. Faculty, researchers, students, and staff 
will benefit directly from this partnership through solutions created for 
preserving data, building rich discovery systems, managing descriptive 
information, and sharing information across multiple groups and institutions 
required by research projects and data management services mandated by grant 
funding agencies such as NSF. 

*Note: There are also a few extra benefits like guaranteed opportunity to 
purchase football tickets every year, among others!

Re: [CODE4LIB] Learning Microsoft SQL

[Friscia, Michael]

I would add that I learned a lot of SQL from this forum
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/
Sometimes the blunt criticism when someone shows you how only to see four 
replies "don't do it like that, that's totally stupid, what did you learn that 
in a WROX book?" helped me a lot early on.
