Creating databases, managing logins and users, backups, etc.
The second part of the equation is that of developing code in a language called Structured Query Language. Microsofts flavor of SQL is called Transact-SQL. Transact was designed primarily to work with relational databases. Transact is the language used to talk to SQL Server. When we want to create a database a database we use DDL or Data Definition Language. Im defining an object when I use the statement with the code. When we want to see data inside a table we use DML or Data Manipulation Language. Im not creating an object Im manipulating the data inside that object. In this course we are going to learn the basics of Transact-SQL or T-SQL. We will cover the fundamentals of Transact using real world examples. Additionally, we will discuss some of the best practices associated with crafting clean, high performance code. Youll learn why stored procedures are so important to well-designed applications and why ad hoc queries arent. The knowledge you gain from the course will not only help you learn to develop but will also give you a great first step to learning how to pinpoint performance issues due to poorly written code. Thanks for your interest in Real World Transact-SQL from the Ground Up.

Great overall coverage of TSQL. Good refresher for me. If you want to get started with TSQL, buy this course.

By Laura Herrera on 9/17/2020

The course was very vague and didn't get into examples to much. It felt rushed and not what i was expecting based on the description. Its very much an overview of the basics.

Pacing is just moderate enough to understand. Thanks!

By Frank Zhao on 5/12/2020

The voice is so low that I can't hear what the instructor said somtimes.

By Innocent Vilakazi on 5/6/2020

It is a good match though the video keeps on buffering which makes it difficult for me to pay attention.

By KOLAWOLE OMOLOLA on 5/3/2020

Great Instructor

By Rohit Dhadwal 2018 on 4/25/2020

By Ravikumar Saroj on 4/16/2020

Subtitles not correct

By David Cook on 4/16/2020

Moves a bit fast and the order in which concepts are introduced is a bit wonky. Often a concept is mentioned before it is explained so things are a bit out of order in my opinion.
