In this 5-day instructor-led course participants will establish a solid foundational understanding of database concepts and terminology. Then master the use of various Microsoft tools to submit queries to quickly and efficiently get the results needed. We teach students how to write a query the same way that SQL Server processes a SQL statement – following a step-by-step process for creating SQL queries from business requirements. This approach uses the natural way of breaking down a problem into logical steps. Each step can be validated before moving to the next step. This differs from most courses, which present SQL as a set of features. Finally, students will learn to harness the power of using T-SQL statements inside common database objects like Views, Stored Procedures and User-Defined Functions. Class lectures highlight and explain Transact-SQL concepts which are reinforced with extensive follow-along demonstrations and hands-on labs. Note: before attending this course, students should have familiarity with programming and developing software using any language.

Peter uses an intuitive approach to learning that applies the way we all learn in the real world and gives students experiences on which to draw when they’re back on the job applying their new skills. “Learning is the most fun, satisfying, and enduring when we have our own empirical experiences – our own AHA! moment when we experience a discovery. The classroom offers a great opportunity to create those moments in a fun and focused environment. It’s great when students tell me that the experience they had in the classroom is what allowed them to finally understand a topic and solve a tough problem at work.”
