This is an online SQL tutorial that takes you through the SQL language. It
is not Linux specific, but then again, hardly any SQL is, it's the program
using SQL that is platform dependant. The only platform specifics for SQL
were relating to Microsoft products, they seem to have invented their own
convention!! This site actually allows you to perform SQL on an online
database, and it's very good, without having to soil your own machine with
any garbage.

I presonally cannot say enough for Oracle on Linux, or indeed any other
platform. It's just an absolutely top product! Head over to
http://technet.oracle.com and see what you think yourself, with a free
license for development use.

If you need any more SQL help, email me.

Does anyone know of a good online SQL tutorial for a db novice regarding
linux specifically?  Should I be looking toward MySQL or is there another
Linux SQL package that is worth investing time in?  Thanks for any
direction.

It really depends on how much you know about SQL. If you don't know
anything
about relational database design I would suggest you start with a book
about
(gasp!) Microsoft Access printed by O'Reilly. The title is something
like
"What you REALLY need to know about Microsoft Access" and it's the best
introduction to relational database design I've see in a long time.

But it won't help you with anything Linux specific. And it's not online.
