Does any one have good resources from which to start? </i> </p> <p>I've studied SQL a bit and feel sort of comfortable with the syntax, but the whole process of connecting it in a program baffles me. I never seem to get it to work. I'm currently trying to learn python at the moment. </p> <p> I have taken a look at resources through out the web of sort of starting points to learn this skill, but thought I would ask this community to see if any one has any resource that has helped them out in regards to this area. Thanks for taking the time to read this </p> database sql python beginners
