What You'll Learn

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Introduce the entire SQL Server platform and its major tools. It will cover editions, versions, basics of network listeners, and concepts of services and service accounts.
• Determine appropriate data types to be used when designing tables, convert data between data types, and create alias data types.
• Be aware of good design practices regarding SQL Server tables and be able to create tables using T-SQL. (Note: partitioned tables are not covered).
• Implement PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY, DEFAULT, CHECK and UNIQUE constraints, and investigate cascading FOREIGN KEY constraints.
• Determine appropriate single column and composite indexes strategies.
• Create tables as heaps and tables with clustered indexes. Also consider the design of a table and suggest an appropriate structure.
• Read and interpret details of common elements from execution plans.
• Design effective non-clustered indexes.
• Design and implement views
• Design and implement stored procedures.
• Work with table types, table valued parameters and use the MERGE statement to create stored procedures that update data warehouses.
• Design and implement functions, both scalar and table-valued. (Also describe where they can lead to performance issues).
• Perform basic investigation of a deadlock situation and learn how transaction isolation levels affect application concurrency.
• Use both traditional T-SQL error handling code and structured exception handling.
• Design and implement DML triggers
