Database fundation or new SQL courses ?

Hello !!

I am following the Ruby track and I am now on the databse foundations courses, but things have changed a lot since the course was created!

I'm little lost on the workbench :( http://hpics.li/202b187 ( this is a screenshot of my workbench...)

Should I leave it and go straight to the new SQL courses ?

I note that just in August - so soon! - there is a new course on relational databases - there might be an update here relevant to your current area. I am keen on taking that new course for sure.

Once the new Database course come out, we should be up to date on all the latest SQL Syntax that the Database Foundations course covers.

Mind you, my copy of Workbench was still working the last time I checked it so if you wanted you could still use that to practice skills, but the SQL Playground that Treehouse gives us is excellent too. :-)

When you get the time try going through the steps on the video again. If I remember correctly Andrew goes through the steps on Mac and Windows and following the video(s) worked for me. I'm sure he goes over how to start a new server instance. :-)

Good luck.
