Microsoft SQL Server - An Introduction

Course Description

This course is a brief presentation of SQL Server.

We will install SQL Server Express for free, install it, and create a database and table.

We'll also add some data and retrieve it.

We'll then look at all the various programs that you can use:

1. SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS, which allows you to learn T-SQL and DBA)
2. SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), which automates the conversion of data.
3. SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), which allows the creation of cubes, and
4. SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), which allows for the creation of reports.

We'll also look at some resources for learning these.

No prior knowledge is required - just a willingness to learn.

See you on the course.
