Hi,

I need to learn about SQL server. Ultimately, I would like to use it for
business intelligence, to learn about my customers (e.g. how many are above
65, are male, and have x product). I also need to create management reports,
and extracting info for a company scorecard would be great.

I have no idea where to start. I am using SQL 2000. Any books, sites,
suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Do you have existing databases and need to learn the Business Intelligence
side, or are you startnig from the ground up?

A bunch of SQL 2005 labs here, including Analysis Services. The SQL 2000
collection did not have as many choices.

There is a tutorial that comes with the SQL 2000 installation media that is
a really basic start...
