The Querying Microsoft SQL Server with Transact-SQL course covers the basics of the SQL language as implemented by Microsoft SQL Server. The course is designed to give delegates practical experience in writing Transact-SQL statements using the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) development environment. The basic Transact-SQL statements, including the use of many built-in Transact-SQL functions are covered on this course. This course covers Microsoft SQL Server up to version 2016.

The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:

  • Writing SELECT queries
  • Sorting and filtering data
  • Using SQL aggregate functions
  • Using SET operators
  • Writing joins to query multiple tables
  • Using built-in functions
  • Using Subqueries
  • Inserting, updating, deleting and merging rows
  • Transaction control
Who will the Course Benefit?

Anyone who needs to access and work with a Microsoft SQL Server Database.

Course Objectives

To provide the Transact-SQL (T-SQL) coding skills needed to query and modify data held within a Microsoft SQL Server database.

Examinations

This course will cover some of the topics required for exam:

  • 70-761:Querying Data with Transact-SQL

     

Attending this course will help delegates gain many of the skills and product knowledge requirements as outlined in the exam objectives. Studying this course and its associated reference materials can form part of the preparation to achieve certification. Experience, practice, self-study and aptitude are also key requirements for exam success.

Before taking any exam, ensure you have the recommended experience. The Microsoft website lists all exam requirements and these are updated regularly.

Exams are not included as part of the course.

Requirements

There are no formal pre-requisites for the Querying Microsoft SQL Server with Transact-SQL course, although an understanding of databases and exposure to information technology in general would be useful. This knowledge can be gained by attendance on the Relational Databases & Data Modelling Overview course.
