I need to master SQL.net for a new job. I need project ideas.?

I have 12 months to prepare for a job that requires a heavy knowledge of SQL and other databases. I need a list of competencies and some projects that will help me learn what NOT to do as well as what TO do.





I am told that my knowledge of what things go wrong is what they look for in the interview. So I need to build and fix a lot of database code.





I can work in C++, C# and VB





I have Visual Studio 2005 professional Student edition(full, but the license is limited)





Any suggestions?

Look for an open source community project that you can review code, do your own code, and have other people review your code. Community coding will help you learn will having a hand to guide you.
