    Hi All,

    I'm a production DBA and have been for a good while.

    I can query, join filters but how do I get my T-sql skills to a developer\Report writer level.

    Books don't do it for me, links to useful youtube sights will be most usefull.

    Are an MVP to follow. I have been putting this off for years now.

    Thanks

    The vast majority of good T-SQL learning material will be in the from reading (books, blogs, and forums) and also practicing. However, since you're specifically asking for good video related material, I'd say search YouTube for:

    T-SQL AND ("Kevin Kline" OR "Itzik Ben-Gan" OR "Grant Fritchey" OR "Adam Mechanic" OR "Brent Ozar")

    ooh, not me. I don't write T-SQL like those other people. I teach mechanisms & processes and some internals. That hard core coding stuff, I leave that to the smart people.

    From what he says, it sounds like he knows basic T-SQL (the easy stuff) and now as a developer wants to take it to the next level, analyzing execution plans and optimzing SQL (the hard core stuff). That's where you and the other guys I mentioned come in.
