PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Nowadays the source of incoming data is not only restricted to few employees detail files or student details, it has been expanded much more than that. Previously, Organizations tend to store and maintain data in FoxPro, dBase for a longer period of time. Later on, Microsoft Access came into existence. However, these have insufficient capabilities to store the massive bulk of data.

Therefore, the need for applications handling a large amount of data increased with the influx of massive incoming data. Two major applications introduced in the market were SQL Server and Oracle. Oracle became successful overnight but SQL Server took some time to establish itself. Once it was all settled and organized, there was no point of looking behind and it became one of the successful software application across the world. Microsoft SQL Server became an efficient tool for managing database systems in the organization. Transact –SQL (T-SQL) language is extensively used by SQL Server for managing and manipulating data in relational database management system (RDBMS).

Being a Microsoft product SQL Server, it helps in delivering excellent performance and enable the delegates to create and modify data using T-SQL queries. The main aim of the course is to prepare the delegates for the below-mentioned exam and get them certified. The exam serves as a fundamental exam for database administration, business intelligence, and database development.

ABOUT Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes is a town in Buckinghamshire, South East England, that lies equidistant from London, Birmingham, Oxford, Cambridge and Leicester.  Although the town was found as recent as January 1967 to provide for the more residential area, archaeologists have traced its existence back to the Bronze Age. When the town of Milton Keynes came into existence in 1967 it took under its umbrella the existing towns of Bletchley, Wolverton and Stony Stratford. The town got its name from the  Middle Age village of Milton Keynes which was mentioned as Middeltone in the 11th Century.

The town has a population of 250,00 as of now which is almost 5 times than it was when it came into existence in 1967.The design of this town was created by known urban planners and architects including Lord Norman Foster, Sir Richard MacCormac, Ralph Erskine, Henning Larsen, Martin Richardson and John Winter. The design the created was of a modernist type and used the grid square system.

The town is home to various parkland and lakes which are now known to characterize Milton Keynes now. Though one may find very tall buildings in Milton Keynes today, this was not so until 2004. Earlier, as a rule, no building could be taller than a tree.Milton Keynes is a combination of both the ancient and modern attracts visitors and new residents alike.
