PL/I was a good language - all the features you needed and well structured. It was also too complex and too tied to IBM, and in the end too large for a workable implementation on the original PC architecture. I was sorry to see it go.

As far as SQL goes, I suggest you get SQL for Smarties and also spend some time on Tom Kyte's web site ( asktom.oracle.com ). It is amazing what can be done with a real database (Oracle, Postgres) and a real understanding of SQL and database manipulation. I hope to have that real understanding in about 10 more years ;-)
