Lisle, IL Lines: 16 Originator: prior@sunAh SQLBBS is a free bulletin board dedicated to the use of SQL. First time callers receive full privs. The board has one conference dedicated to SQL, about 400 files on SQL or MS-DOS usage, and an RBBS door which provides access to 50 tables of data. The tables are data of common interest such as the 47,000+ 5 digit ZIP CODES in the US. When you go thr the door, you will be told how to get help and use certain "canned" procedures. Users who know the SQL SELECT command can roll their own SELECTS. The board is a local call from the Chicago area and can be reached via PC-PURSUIT. The modem is a Microcom 9600 baud with MNP Lv 6. The phone number is 312/589-0508. There are two shareware SQL programs that are great for learning SQL. Enjoy! John F. Prior - SYSOP
