Developing for Microsoft SQL Server databases

This 5-day instructor-led course introduces Microsoft SQL Server and describes logical table design, indexing and query plans. It also focusses on the creation of database objects including views, stored procedures, along with parameters, and functions. Other common aspects of procedure coding, such as transactions, concurrency, error handling, triggers, and SQL CLR are also covered in this course.

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

  • Introduce the entire SQL Server platform and its major tools.
  • 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.
  • Implement PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY, DEFAULT, CHECK and UNIQUE constraints.
  • Determine appropriate single column and composite indexes strategies.
  • Create tables as heaps and tables with clustered indexes.
  • Read and interpret details of common elements from execution plans.
  • Design and implement effective non-clustered indexes, views, stored procedures, and functions.
  • 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
  • Store XML data and schemas in SQL Server and perform basic queries on XML data in SQL Server.

Schedule

Momenteel zijn er voor deze cursus geen publieke sessies gepland. Graag organiseren we een bedrijfssessie voor u of een extra publieke sessie (bij voldoende belangstelling). Geïnteresseerd? Laat het ons weten.

Intended for

IT Professionals who want to become skilled on SQL Server product features and technologies for implementing a database.

Background

Before attending this course, students must have a basic knowledge of the Microsoft Windows operating system and its core functionality. A level of understanding as covered in the course SQL and relational databases fundamentals is required, i.e., the writing of basic SQL statements and having insight in relational systems. You can test yourself to see if you have enough background by filling in the online self-test.
