Well, I'm trying to learn SQL All the tutorials I find on the web start out assuming everything is already set up, and have me learning SQL commands.
Well, I need to back way up many steps first! I can't just start entering commands into a DOS box...

So, if you know of a 'how to get started in SQL' that does NOT leave out the all important steps of what SQL is (query language? Implies a new language and I need a new compiler? Or is it really an API and I just need a library for pythin or C++? etc. etc.) or how to fet it started from scratch (I assume I need to be running a server, are these standard things already to go, or do we write our own servers for our particular needs...)

Thanks,
