Malcom,

Our company purchased the Keystone CD's on SQL Server 7.0 and I have gotten through the first three levels of the Implementing SQL series. I am quite pleased with the content and Paul's abilities as an instructor. I am a database programmer and use Visual Foxpro so I'm not new to constraints, store procedures and the likes. Paul does a good job of presenting this information in a manner that will not put you to sleep. These are the first training CD's I've incountered and can't see how they would be any more professional. As far as content...they may be somewhat on the light side. Time will tell.

I hope this helps.
