Overview of this book
SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by Microsoft. SQL Server also allows user-defined composite types (UDTs) to be used. The SQL Server services operate within SQL server instances, allowing people to do machine learning and data analytics.
In this course, you will understand the difference between SQL and NoSQL. You will query SQL and learn about built-in SQL functions. You will create and modify databases and tables using the CREATE DATABASE and CREATE TABLE statements. You will create, select, and modify records and create constraints in SQL. You will advance to create indexes, drop tables, and databases in SQL. You will learn about operators (AND, OR, NOT, LIKE, BETWEEN, IN, LIKE), functions, statements, and constraints in SQL. You will look at stored procedures and aliases, and learn to back up databases in SQL. You will use the WHERE clause to query and learn about the SELECT and DISTINCT functions. You will arrange data using the ORDER BY keyword and ASC and DESC keywords.
After completing the course, you will thoroughly understand SQL’s features and components. You will create complex databases and maintain existing databases. Finally, you will acquire complex SQL query capabilities and write complex queries.
