I have been programming C++ for a while now and I am about to attempt to use it to program for the web. The code will be used for an online study aid, which poses questions and possible answers. A database will store all of the relevant information. I will be using SQL, but my knowledge lies solely with Visual Sudio and C++. Does anyone have any advice or what books etc will help.

Thanks in advance.

Are you looking for books on SQL itself or how to use C++ to access a database?

What database program will you be using?

I have not been told the database program but I need to know more about SQL than how to access a database. I will write the code to access the database.

Since you don't know what version of SQL you will be using, a good start would be something like SQL in a Nutshell (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1565927443/ref%3Dpd%5Fsl%5Faw%5Falx-jeb-7-1%5Fbook%5F2584888%5F3/104-3472590-4602326). It will give you the basics (and the basics are common to every flavor of SQL; you can't have that many variations of a SELECT statement).
