Details

Structured Query Language (SQL) is the most popular language used for querying relational databases. Our advanced Microsoft SQL tutorials cover Microsoft SQL Server, also known as MS SQL or MSSQL Server, which supports a number of advanced features that make your queries more intelligent and efficient, taking much of the work away from the middleware.

In this course, you will learn how to:

  • Use loops and branches in Microsoft SQL Server queries as taught in our SQL tutorials.
  • Create user-defined functions and stored procedures in MS SQL as part of the learning objectives.
  • Manage constraints and triggers in MSSQL Server to optimize database performance.
  • Control multiple simultaneous updates using advanced features of Microsoft SQL Server SQL.
