In this training program, learners will acquire proficiency in the fundamentals of writing Microsoft T-SQL queries.
No previous knowledge is required.
Writing SQL queries is no longer required only for software developers, and is increasingly expected in the fields of analysis, design, testing or reporting. In this comprehensive program, learners will first learn the basics of the SQL language, and how to write queries.
In addition to the standard SQL statements, they will be able to use these stand-alone query languages effectively with specific knowledge of Microsoft Transact SQL.
Throughout the comprehensive program, there will be a strong emphasis on practical knowledge, so learners will learn about the most commonly used tools for SQL databases.
