QUESTION POSED ON: 07 October 2004
The organization that I work for recently hired a consulting firm to create a centralized database for us. It's a SQL Server database with ASP pages as the interface. I've struggled a great deal to get up to speed on this new monstrous system that we have, but having started with no SQL server or ASP experience, my progress has been rather slow.
I would like to know what practical steps I can take to become proficient with our system and able to manage it and make updates and changes as necessary without having to put in tons of calls to the consultants, who are now gone?
Should I shoot for general training classes? Should I find one of those expensive week-long intensive classes? Or should I arrange to have someone do some onsite training?
Right now I'm drowning, but I don't want to give up my job!
