Dear /g/,
After a long and exhaustive day of battlestations and deskterp rating i come to you with a serious question:
How long will it take to learn SQL and access in such a way that i can write "basic knowledge of SQL and access" into a CV without it being a lie?
Background: I am looking for a new job, and i found something interesting. However apart from hydraulics (which i know) they also want database skills (which i dont have), so i want to inquire whether it would be worth pursuing that opportunity.

Yeah, i know.
We have an access database at my current work. I only have to use for some easy stuff and i hate it, but maybe if i actually know it, it might at least get bearable?
A GUI that looks like someone took Ncurses and transferred it into a Win2000 look, made it slightly bigger than the screen and then stacked ribbons on top, whats not to love?

But that would be a lie, since i never installed gentoo!
