We provide course about Mastering SQL Server for Database Developers in english. This course is designed to help experienced database developers deepen their expertise in Microsoft SQL Server development.
Course description:
You’ll explore advanced database design principles, optimize queries for performance, and apply best practices in schema design, concurrency, and maintainability. As applications become more data-driven, the role of the database developer expands beyond writing basic queries. In this course, you’ll work with real scenarios to normalize schemas, prevent data anomalies, implement transactions safely, and write efficient and maintainable T-SQL code. The focus is on building robust, scalable, and high-performance database applications with SQL Server.
Key takeaways:
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
• Design robust database schemas using normalization and relational principles
• Write advanced T-SQL queries and stored procedures
• Optimize query performance with indexing and execution plan analysis
• Apply error handling and transaction management techniques
• Use modular programming with functions and triggers
• Understand concurrency and locking mechanisms
• Apply best practices for scalable database development
Course outline:
Module 1 - Advanced database design:
• Participants explore normalization, schema refinement, and strategies to prevent data anomalies and redundancy
Module 2 - Advanced T-SQL techniques:
• This section focuses on writing complex queries, using subqueries, CTEs, window functions, and modular T-SQL components like stored procedures and functions.
Module 3 - Indexing and performance:
• Learn how indexing strategies affect query performance, and how to analyze and tune execution plans for efficiency
Module 4 - Transactions and error handling:
• This topic covers transaction scopes, isolation levels, and how to implement robust error handling to maintain data integrity
Module 5 - Concurrency and locking:
• Participants gain insight into SQL Server’s concurrency control mechanisms, locking behavior, and how to manage and minimize contention.
Module 6 - Modular programming and triggers:
• This section explores advanced programming patterns with stored procedures, user-defined functions, and triggers to enforce business rules.
Module 7 - Query tuning and best practices:
• Learn how to apply best practices to tune queries, handle large datasets, and design for performance and maintainability
Module 8 - Real-world scenarios:
• The course includes case studies and exercises focused on typical development challenges seen in enterprise applications.
