Goodluck and welcome to the world of Progress !
that'll be great if you've got a thousand bucks or so laying around.
dd, following our conversation last week.
lookup the following concepts
tables and indexes, primary/foreign keys and relationships, transactions
( something along the lines of logical units of work ) and locks.
leave abstract concepts like the entity relationship theory and such for now.
like i said last week, i think, microsoft access has a very easy to follow
tutorial on database basics.
of course google, wikipedia, online tutorials etc. are very handy.
i've used webmonkey.com in the past for various things. you could go check
that out.
after that and after you've downloaded the openedge documentation off
psdn.com get started with the language tutorial.
dont just read start hacking. atleast that works for me when i'm learning
something new.
i know that college can get you accustom to being told where to go and
what to do but you're going to have to be abit more independent.
i mean what are you looking for ? someone to walk you through all this, well,
thats probably not going to happen.
you're going to have to get started on your own. like i said, i think, you
could get functional in progress pretty fast.
bottom line is that theres literally endless resources on databases at all
levels out there.
good luck its going to be an interesting ride !
