Developing Databases on Microsoft SQL Server Course Content

Introduction to SQL Development

  • This module introduces the core concepts of database development and explains the basics of how databases are created.

Designing and Implementing tables

  • This module explains how tables are designed, including processes such as normalisation, data types, and schemas, before moving on to the process of creating tables.
