Overview

Having T/SQL skills is a prerequisite skill for many involved in the management and development of solutions utilising SQL Server 2005. T/SQL skills are also required to attend the more advanced SQL 2005 courses.

This two-day, hands-on course covers everything database administrators and developers need to know to query SQL Server databases using SELECT statements ranging from simple to complex, and use INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements to modify and maintain data. Creating and using of VIEWS is also covered, along with accessing data through stored procedures and user-defined functions.
