This course is for developers coming from Visual Studio or other development backgrounds who want to learn to build successful databases solutions with SQL Server 2005. Even developers who've already used Oracle, MySQL, DB2 or other relational database management systems will find this course useful for getting up to speed on SQL Server 2005.
Course includes 90+ hours of total training time...
In this course, You'll learn about the features that are available in SQL Server; how to design and create a database; and how to build basic queries using Transact-SQL, the language of SQL Server. Then, you'll learn how to build effective views, stored procedures, triggers, and user-defined functions, using Transact-SQL. You'll learn about the new enhancements to the Transact-SQL programming language including improved support for error handling and hierarchical queries, and programmers can now use .NET languages like C# and Visual Basic to build database objects.
SQL Server 2005 includes a rich set of tools that go beyond the basics of querying and manipulating data. You'll learn how to take advantage of the new, user-friendly management console that integrates both authoring and administrative tasks. You'll learn how to take advantage of SQL Server's tools for analyzing and tuning your databases. You'll also learn about integration services, implementing security, and Microsoft's new Business Intelligence (BI) suite.
