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.
