Hi Radha,
You are aware that PowerBuilder 9 is 15 years old?
I found the old Sybase press release and PB 9.0 shipped back in late March 2003! As a consequence, PB 9 only supports product versions that were available in March 2003: Windows XP, Oracle 9, MS SQL 2000, etc. A lot has happened in PowerBuilder over the last 15 years!
WIndows 7 is unsupported. Any .NET 4 related is unsupported. Unicode is only partially supported. Performance guidelines were very different.
Appeon-U's PowerBuilder Fundamentals class is my best advice!
It is a free, online course available on Appeon's main web site.
I know, it is based on PB 11.5 or newer, but the core product features are taught at a level relevant also for PB 9. You will experience the IDE looks different and may lack features in PB 9.
Also learning on a project from colleagues more proficient in PowerBuilder is an excellent source of knowledge Finally, two PowerBuilder manuals that are worth looking at: User's Guide and Application Techniques (names may have been slightly different back in PB 9).

I am not having colleague here,we have only 1 person working on PB and he only comes once in a week,used to come soo early in morning and left.
That's why i been hired as i know SQL,now been asked to work in PB.
Its all about job so have work on it ,NO option.
learn by my own.
SQL is quite different from PowerScript - and with DataWindow objects you get to write much less SQL, because the DataWindow object writes your INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements by itself.
