Objectifs

This 4-day instructor-led course introduces SQL Server 2014 and describes logical table design, indexing and query plans.
It also focusses on the creation of database objects including views, stored procedures, along with parameters, and functions.
Other common aspects of procedure coding, such as indexes, concurrency, error handling, and triggers are also covered in this course. Also this course helps you prepare for the Exam 70-464.

Note: This course is designed for customers who are interested in learning SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2014.
It covers the new features in SQL Server 2014, but also the important capabilities across the SQL Server data platform.
Introduce the entire SQL Server platform and its major tools. It will cover editions, versions, basics of network listeners, and concepts of services and service accounts

Determine appropriate data types to be used when designing tables, convert data between data types, and create alias data types
Be aware of good design practices regarding SQL Server tables and be able to create tables using T-SQL. (Note: partitioned tables are not covered)
Implement PRIMARY KEY, FOREIGN KEY, DEFAULT, CHECK and UNIQUE constraints, and investigate cascading FOREIGN KEY constraints
Determine appropriate single column and composite indexes strategies
Create tables as heaps and tables with clustered indexes. Also consider the design of a table and suggest an appropriate structure
Read and interpret details of common elements from execution plans
Design effective non-clustered indexes
Design and implement views
Design and implement stored procedures
Work with table types, table valued parameters and use the MERGE statement to create stored procedures that update data warehouses
Design and implement functions, both scalar and table-valued. (Also describe where they can lead to performance issues)
Perform basic investigation of a deadlock situation and learn how transaction isolation levels affect application
