SQL for SQL Server
|
This course is designed for developers wishing to exploit SQL in a Microsoft SQL Server environment. The course most often lasts for 2 days, with a reduced one-day version giving more of an overview and a 3 day version allowing coverage of more advanced aspects such as triggers and functions. The full 3-day overview is given below. Versions of SQL server from 2000 onwards can be supported. The course is highly practical including many exercises which can be adapted to follow your real-world requirements. The 3 day course costs £1770 in total for up to 6 students, plus VAT and the instructor's reasonable expenses. Each student beyond 6 would cost £20 for the additional course materials.
