I have no idea what you even mean by a form. You seem to be confusing the database layer with an application layer specific to a particular vendor.
That’s the point of SQL. It’s vendor, and application layer, independent.
Not at all, I work with databases all day long, I’m quite aware of the difference. And I love your platform independent optimism, I’ll bear that in mind the next time we’re migrating our applications from Oracle to MS SQL Server.
My point was that the OP is being offered MS specific training, and that being able to use SQL + MS tools to generate forms and pretty reports for management would probably be quite a good move.
