MAJOR LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Throughout the course, I will first help you refresh your memory on the basic database principles, such as: what are Relational Database Management Systems (RRDMSs), what are Databases, Tables, Queries and Programmability Objects, as well as, we will discuss about the differences between SQL and T-SQL.

After that, we will talk about the SQL Server Data Platform and discuss important topics such as: what can you do with SQL Server, what are the main SQL Server services, which are the Operating Systems supported by SQL Server, as well as, we will be installing SQL Server together on a demo environment, along with discussing about the relevant best practices.

Then, we will talk about SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), which is a popular free SQL Server client tool provided by Microsoft, and learn how you can perform different tasks in SQL Server using SSMS, such as: create databases and tables, write and run T-SQL scripts, generate T-SQL scripts for various databases operations, as well as, import and export data in SQL Server.

Then, we will discuss about basic SQL Server security concepts, such as: logins and database users, as well as, about the surface area configuration in SQL Server.

After that, we will discuss about Azure Data Studio, and learn how you can perform different database tasks in SQL Server, using this free cross-platform tool, which just like SSMS, is also provided by Microsoft.

Then we will talk about SQL Server on Linux and learn how to install SQL Server on this type of OS, along with its main client tools.  Moreover, we will be discussing about the different techniques for importing and exporting data in SQL Server and see many interesting live demonstrations.

Finally, we’ll go over different special topics, via which you will learn how to implement special tasks in SQL Server.
