thanks for the quick replies guys. sql it is. guess i'm still reeling from the long tense interview i just had.
this thread is now about the stupid questions they ask in those interviews and logic tests.
why does a mirror reflect left and right and not up and down... yes they actually asked that.
wtf....
a mirror will always reflect a beam of light so that the incident ray and reflected ray form the same angle to the surface normal, no matter the direction. that is the basic law of specular reflection. I really don't get what they want

SQL is hardly anything. You could learn it in 1 day. Most database management is through MS Access, and you need VB for that. So if they require SQL-knowledge, they probably want you to know VB too.
MS Access databases are only used for a small amount of users through a company. I wouldn't rely on it for business-critical information storage. If you want to build something that could be used corporation-wide, you'll have to go with something more serious.
Oracle
PostgreSQL
MySQL

You have no idea what you're talking about. Many SQL DBAs aren't VB devs. And SQL is a big deal. It pays well around these parts.
And it is difficult to learn everything from joined queries to stored procs, impossible in one day.
