SQL part II today… the sequel. It actually wasn’t that bad! Of course we all realize now that the awful SQL setup they had us working through the day before was partially to give us an appreciation for well written, properly set up databases and how much easier it is to query.

We worked on integrating SQL into Ruby today to build a database driven application and after the previous day, it was much easier to write and understand the SQL needed to do so. Looks like we’ll be moving right into Rails tomorrow and utilizing ActiveRecord to do most of our database querying. I’m definitely interested to find out how much more it will all make sense after having looked at a ton of SQL these past couple of days
