SQL Server for the Non DBA with Buck Woody
|
Many technical professionals are asked to manage a database server, and they aren’t often allowed to get the training they need to do the job properly. If you’re in that situation, or perhaps you’re looking to become a data professional as a career advancement, this workshop is for you. Buck Woody, Microsoft’s “Real World DBA” will show you how to start with the basics and work all the way through a full database project, learning the tools, components and best practices along the way. In this one-day class, you’ll go hands-on to learn the basic steps and knowledge that you need to become a data professional. Buck works at Microsoft, teaches a database class at the University of Washington, and writes and speaks professionally. He’s also mentored technical professionals, and taught this course in three countries. Topics covered include:
- SQL Server Architecture
- Server and Database Components
- Tools and utilities for working with SQL Server
- Designing a simple database project
- The Basics of Transact-SQL
- A security primer
- Maintenance and Monitoring basics
During the session, you’ll create a full database project, so you’ll need a laptop with a Microsoft Operating System (XP or higher) and good note-taking skills.
