how to quickly learn the syntax of SQL?


Hi, All:

I know oracle SQL, now I need to do a lot of SQL query on Microsoft SQLSERVER, can any one point out any place that I can find out the syntax of SQLserver SQL statement? Since this is just a short term assignment, so I don't want to buy a book, just hoping I can learn something quickly from online. I don't need learn anything deep, just need to know some simple syntax so I can do join, count, concatenate, min(), max(), sum () etc.
thanks in advance.Books Online, the definitive source for information about SQL Server and T-SQL, is available online here, to for free download here.|||

You will be suprised that for the standard things like joining and concatenating, SQL Server support most things the ANSI standard which lets you change your SQL strings easily. For special things like system functions you will need the appropiate TSQL equivalent but for ANSI joining like *= you can do a "soft-migration" to SQL Server. (And in addition you won′t need the dual table anymore :-) ) :-D
