BASICS OF TRANSACT SQL WITH SQL SERVER 2008 

 

Developed in-house by SolidQ, this T-SQL Fundamentals course is intended for T-SQL developers, DBAs, data scientists and SQL Server power users who work with SQL Server and need to write queries and develop code using Transact-SQL—SQL Server’s dialect of the standard ANSI-SQL language. The course covers querying, including retrieving and modifying data, and also provides an overview of programmable objects supported by SQL Server.

This course is intended both for people who just started working with SQL Server, as well as those with some experience. If you are self-taught, and gained your knowledge “by the seat of your pants,” this course can fill the gaps in your knowledge and teach you how to think correctly in SQL terms. This course doesn’t get into performance discussions and advanced problems* rather focuses on the logical aspects of T-SQL. Note though that it is not merely a step-by-step course. It doesn’t just focus on syntactical elements of T-SQL, rather explains the logic behind the language and its elements.

There are many aspects of SQL that are very different than other programming languages. This course will help students adopt the right state of mind and get a true understanding of the language elements. Students will learn how to think in terms of sets and follow good SQL programming practices.

To complement the learning experience, students will be provided with exercises that will enable them to practice what they’ve learned.
