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 Plymouth

Plymouth is a port city in Devon that also goes by the name of the Ocean City of Britain. The city is known for its narrow cobbled streets and a maritime heritage. Plymouth lies between the mouths of the two rivers - Plym and Tamar – and hence its name. The first settlers had come to Plymouth in the Bronze Age. It was in 1620 that the Pilgrim Fathers departed from Plymouth in search of some New World. They established a new colony at the time known as the Plymouth Colony and later as The United States of America.

Plymouth grew during the Industrial Revolution as a Commercial Shipping Port. Imports and passengers both poured into Plymouth from the Americas. Plymouth was also using its ports to export minerals such as time, lime, china clay, copper and arsenic. In 1928 Plymouth achieved a city status when three of its neighbours also joined together under the same name. During the Second World War, Plymouth was a target for the Nazi forces as it sided with the Allied forces.

Governed locally by Plymouth City Council, the city is home to 264,200 people as per the data collected in 2016. The economy of Plymouth has for long been influenced by industries such as Ship-building and sea-faring, but since the 1990’s it is turning more towards the service-based industry. In the whole of Western Europe, Plymouth is home to the biggest Naval-base.

Plymouth 2020

In 2003, Plymouth Council started the "Vision for Plymouth" – a project for the development of the city of Plymouth. The project aims to build shopping centres, an avenue as a part of the project and a cruise terminal. Another aim of the project is to increase the population to 300,000. 2004 saw the old Drake Circus being demolished and replaced by the Drake Circus Shopping Centre that opened in October 2006. In one of another project, the Plymouth City Council's headquarters are to be shifted and the civic centre to be demolished. The demolished land of civic centre will be sold so as to generate revenue for building the new council headquarters.at the location where the Bretonside bus station is currently located. The Plymouth Pavillion arena is also up for demolition in one of the projects. This would be replaced by a new canal links from Millbay to the city centre.
