Query and Developing SQL Server Data with Traction SQL (T-SQL)

I.       Overview:

The main purpose of this 6 day instructor led course is to give students a good understanding of the Transact-SQL language which is used by all SQL Server-related disciplines; namely, Database Administration, Database Development and Business Intelligence. As such, the primary target audience for this course is: Database Administrators, Database Developers and BI professionals. The course will very likely be well attended by SQL power users who aren’t necessarily database-focused; namely, report writers, business analysts and client application developers.

II.    Duration: 06 days (48 hours)
III. Objectives:

After completing this course, students will be able to:

  • Describe the basic architecture and concepts of Microsoft SQL Server 2016
  • Understand the similarities and differences between Transact-SQL and other computer languages
  • Write SELECT queries
  • Query multiple tables
