Structured Query Language - a means by which to write a query to a database and retreive data. Its pretty simple suff overall once you get the syntax down

sql is basically a database software setup. Used a lot to generate reports. It's not terribly hard to work with, you just need the excuse to work with it.

too bad it's on the other side of the country...

<--- Undergraduate degree in GeoPhysics, Masters (in December) in Management Information systems.

Maybe......

I'm currently a software tester... testing custom business solutions throughout the SDLC (automation, performance, ad-hoc, functional, etc.).

This is pretty much my dream job... just wish it wasn't a contract position... and 1600 miles away :p
