This course is the foundation for the Microsoft Certificate 70-461: "Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012" and 70-761 "Querying Data with Transact-SQL".
Session 1
The basics presented are: how to install SQL Server, and how to create and drop tables.
We then try to create a more advanced table, but find that we need to know more about data types - so we go into some detail about data types and data functions, the foundation of T-SQL.
Session 2
We'll create tables which use these, and then INSERT some data into them. Then we'll write queries which will retrieve and summary this data, using
We'll then JOIN these tables together to find where we are missing data and where we have inconsistent data. We'll then UPDATE and DELETE data from the tables. This will allow up to fully complete objective number 1 from the 70-461 exam.
Session 3
We'll now use that data to create views, which enable us to store these SELECT queries for future use, and triggers, which allow for code to be automatically run when INSERTing, DELETEing or UPDATEing data.
We'll look at the database that we developed in session 2, and see what is wrong with it. We'll add some constraints, such as By doing this, we will complete objectives 2, 3, 4 and 5 from the 70-461 exam
Session 4
We will further encapsulate our routines by creating procedures, allowing us to EXECUTE parameterised commands with just one statement, and we'll add some error handling with
We'll also combine datasets together, by looking at UNION and By doing this, we will complete objectives
Session 5
We'll will now be creating aggregate queries, working through objective 9 of the exam 70-461. We'll be reviewing the ranking functions ROW_ We'll look at the 8 analytic functions news to SQL Server 2012, such as
We'll look at alternative ways of grouping and adding totals, using If you want to take the 70-461 exam, we'll also look at the geometry and geography data types, plotting locations on a grid, together with functions and aggregates.
Session 6
We'll will now be creating sub-queries, working through objectives 7b-e of the exam 70-461. We'll be created correlated subqueries, where the results of the subquery depend on the main query. We'll be looking at Common Table Expressions using the WITH statement, and we'll be using what we have learned to solve a common business problem.
We'll be looking at functions (objective 14), including the three different types of User Defined Functions (UDF): scalar functions, inline table functions, and multi-statement table functions. We'll then complete objective 6 by looking at synonyms and dynamic SQL, and objective 8 by looking at the use of GUIDs. We'll also look at sequences.
We'll have a look at XML. Finally, for SQL Server 2016 and later (exam 70-761), we'll examine JSON and Temporal Tables.
Session 7
In this session we'll be looking at transactions, seeing how to explicitly start and end them, and finding out how they can block other users in the database. Then we'll see about how to indexes and their role in optimising queries.
We'll also see how we can use Dynamic Management Views to see how we can improve our use of indexes. We'll then look at how to write a cursor, and when to use this row-based operation, and the impact of using scalar UDFs.
No prior knowledge is required - I'll even show you how to install SQL Server on your computer for free.
There are regular quizzes to help you remember the information.
Once finished, you will know what how to manipulate numbers, strings and dates, and create database and tables, create tables, insert data and create analyses, and have an appreciation of how they can all be used in T-SQL.

sql server
I pretty recommend it for those of us who want to learn better SQL Server, as well as to go to the exam and show their knowledge.
Suitable for absolute T-SQL beginners, as well as older hands who need a refresher course or a breakdown of newer SQL Server 2016 features.
I have a feeling that I am now learning SQL Server thoroughly thanks to no-assumption mentality that I probably already know it so that we can skim it.
The course was very informative and helpful in getting me up and running with using SQL Server.
Before starting to this course, I thought that I have some information about SQL Server.
This is not Philip's fault, but a warning to other students that SQL Server is not something to learn very fast.
Excellent course for someone who’s looking to gain more knowledge on SQL Server/ TSQL.
I must say that even with my professional experience of MS SQL Server, I am still learning a few things from this course.
It is a great course to cover the contents I need the most at the moment, which is how to query with SQL server and how to set up the lab environment at home.
Course is really good for beginners to sql server.
Vast Information Being a SQL Server DBA, this is indeed a good match.
It deals with just about every possible aspect of querying SQL Server.
Loved taking the course.As the instructor says,Microsoft SQL Server cant be learnt in 4 or 5 hour course.It is great even for absolute beginners who have not any experience in say C# or VB.
This session and the previous session (1), are very useful for anybody who wants to learn the concepts of SQL server deeply.

so much
Thanks you so much for this course.
Thank you so much!
I am learning so much more about SQL with this course So far the course has been great in terms of the amount of material covered.
!Thank you so much for giving us this course!!!!
I've been working with databases for a few years, and its enough in-depth that you actually learn something, but not so much that it gets confusing for a novice.
I'm learning so much from Phillip and he's giving emphasis on what student needs to learn instead of covering so many topics and end up learning nothing.
The course is as comprehensive as the others - covering the same material - but Phillip just makes it so much easier to understand.

other courses
I have already followed two other courses on a different learning platform but this course is by far the best.
I would certainly follow other courses of this instructor.
I nearly skipped the first few sections as i have taken several other courses and assumed it would be very similar.
Most other courses i have taken focus heavily on how to use SQL, this course gives information about why SQL server works the way it does.
