This course will cover the following topics to prepare students for the 70-432 SQL Server 2008 Implementation and Maintenance exam: how to install and configuring SQL Server 2008, maintaining SQL Server instances, managing SQL Server security, maintaining a SQL Server database, performing data management tasks, monitoring and troubleshooting SQL Server, optimizing SQL Server performance, and implementing high availability.

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 SELECT, FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING and ORDER BY.

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.

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 TRY, CATCH and THROW.

We’ll also combine datasets together, by looking at UNION and UNION ALL, INTERSECT and EXCEPT, CASE, ISNULL and Coalesce, and the mighty MERGE statement. By doing this, we will complete objectives 11, 12, 13 and parts of 6 and 18 from the 70-461 exam.
