I'm surprised to see there is no SQL based thread here. So much of programming has to do with database admin/maintenance that it would seem natural. I am actually having a lot of difficulty figuring out SQL Server Xpress, and MSDN is too unorganized for me to make heads or tails of on this subject.

SQL problems are usually in conjunction with problems with the language - often, the SQL is valid but the code producing it isn't. By forcing users to pick a language forum, we can figure out what's going on behind the scenes.

He does have a point though. It might be a good idea to add an SQL forum, or at least a general Databases forum.

I'm happy with that, but you might want to put some sort of notice there stating that any language-specific questions should be asked in the language-specific forums.

The problem here is that sometimes people (new members especially) might not know which is the appropriate forum, and would ask in the wrong place or cross-post.

I like that idea, it could cover things like Database Design, Queries, Software etc. But, would it be appropriate for this forum, I have this debate with people all the time are databases part of programming or not. There are forums that are based on databases only out there anyway.

Database was a part of my degree if that really says anything.

Occupation Health And Safety is part of my course, should we class that as programming?

Did you go to a university or a technical school? Difference being, a university gives you a well-rounded degree with a focus, a technical school gives you a focus with a bit of general education.
