Hi Gislaine:

I just gave a class introducing StatsCan resources to a Research
Methodology students today, so it's only fair I share back...

There's the intro to SQL I wrote a few years ago at
http://bzr.coffeecode.net/intro_to_sql/introduction_to_sql.txt with
a PDF version and accompanying presentation slides at
http://coffeecode.net/archives/212-Introduction-to-SQL-for-Evergreen-administrators.html
which is a fairly gentle introduction (if I do say so myself). Thanks
again to Bibliomation for agreeing to allow me to release this under the
