Introduction to Microsoft T-SQL

Writing SQL Queries

In this 3-day workshop you will understand how to write SQL Server 2005 queries efficiently and accurately. You will learn how to write queries using build basic queries using Transact-SQL, the language of SQL Server. Then, you'll learn how to build effective views, stored procedures, triggers, and user-defined functions, using Transact-SQL. You'll learn about the new enhancements to the Transact-SQL programming language including improved support for error handling and hierarchical queries, and programmers can now use .NET languages to build database objects. This class includes many hands-on exercises to internalize the concepts.

SQL Server 2005 includes a rich set of tools that go beyond the basics of querying and manipulating data. The final two modules are important for developers to go beyond simply writing queries as they will require stored procedures at some point.
