Creating Databases in SQL Server
Duration: 2 Days
Objectives
Delegates attending this course will cover start to finish creation of SQL Server relational databases. They will be introduced to all SQL Data Definition Language (DDL) statements, and will create database storage, tables, data integrity constraints, and indexes. The course is aimed at Database Administrators and Database Developers/Database Designers who will need to create a new database from scratch or will be responsible for maintaining database storage, structures, schemas and design for existing databases on a SQL Server platform. This course, along with the SQL Server Database Querying and Advanced SQL Server Database Querying Courses, helps to prepare delegates for the Microsoft 70-461 exam: Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014/2016 and exam 70-762: Developing SQL Databases (M20762), which credit towards MCSA and MCSE certifications.
