testing your skills

I was wondering if anyone knows of a site that is set up as sort of a test for things like SQL or simple VB. I have been trying to pick up some SQL here and there because of one of my jobs i use to do alot of database work. Well i find it pretty hard to just read a book about SQL and not really get to try the stuff out. When i am at work its hard to find time to just sit down and make a simple C# app and try some SQL statements on a test DB.

So i wanted to know if anyone knows of a site that maybe says here is your question. Something along the lines of what it wants you to get out of tables (shows you the structure) and then you have to write the statement. WHen you are done you can click a button and then it tell you if your right or wrong, or maybe it even would show you what you did wrong. I also was wondering if they do the same type of thing for other kinds of things, like ADO or VBA?

Anyone know of such a thing?

Well FYI i answered my own question after browsing the internet for awhile.

If anyone is interested in testing their own skills out they can go to www.w3schools.com and try out their skills with anything from VB to SQL, and ADO, etc.
