Differences Between MySql and MS SQL
What is the key difference between MySQL
and SQL Server
from the SQL language perspective. The reason why I am asking is that I need to quickly master some basic SQL knowledge and need to find a book to start with.
I find this one through amazon.com Learning SQL, 2nd Edition, however, this book is for MySQL
. All other books for MS SQL
are big one that cannot be finished in a short time.
So, it is fine I just grab a MySQL
book and later I can easily transfer to MS SQL
world or I should immediatel开发者_如何学Goy go into MS SQL Server

This might be a good tutorial to start with SQL - http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/ (rather old, but valid) - though it points more to Oracle, but MySQL is mentioned there.
