    SQL Intro

    After an introduction to relational databases, the SQL standard and Microsoft SQL, the Microsoft SQL Server installation, environment and tooling are discussed. Like other DBMS systems, Microsoft SQL Server has added extra features of its own to standard SQL and these are also discussed in the course.

    SQL Data Definition

    In the first place, it will be discussed how SQL statements can be created and executed in Microsoft SQL Server. Subsequently, the various components of SQL are discussed step-by-step, such as Data Definition Language with CREATE TABLE and Data Manipulation Language with INSERT and UPDATE.

    SQL Select Queries

    Next attention is paid to writing SELECT queries. This includes clauses such as WHERE, ORDER BY, LIKE and BETWEEN .. AND. The grouping of data by means of GROUP and HAVING clauses is also on the program of the course.

    SQL Functions

    The various standard SQL functions are also discussed. Among other things, the mathematical, conversion and aggregation functions for calculating sum and average are treated. Attention is also paid to Microsoft SQL Server specific functions for table expressions, window ranking and pivoting.

    Transactions

    Microsoft SQL Server supports referential and transactional integrity. In that respect, the relationship between primary and foreign keys and restrictive and cascading foreign keys is covered. The course will also discuss how Microsoft SQL Server handles transactions, the commit and rollback statements and how to prevent data corruption in Microsoft SQL Server.

    Join

    Next it is covered how to combine data from different tables by means of joins. The various types of joins such as inner joins, left outer joins, right joins, right outer joins and full outer joins are discussed. Finally, attention is paid to the application of SET operators such as UNION and INTERSECT and the command line interface of Microsoft SQL Server is also treated.
