Module 1: Getting Started with Databases and Transact-SQL in SQL Server 2008
The student will be introduced to how client/server architecture works, and
examine the various database and business tasks that can be performed by using
the components of SQL Server 2008. The student will also be introduced to SQL
Server database concepts such as relational databases, normalization, and
database objects. In addition, the student will learn how to use T-SQL to query
databases and generate reports.
Lessons
• Overview of SQL Server 2008
• Overview of SQL Server Databases
• Overview and Syntax Elements of T-SQL
• Working with T-SQL Scripts
• Using T-SQL Querying Tools
Lab : Using SQL Server Management Studio and SQLCMD
• Exploring the Components and Executing Queries in SQL Server Management Studio
• Starting and Using SQLCMD
• Generating a Report from a SQL Server Database Using Microsoft Office Excel
Module 2: Querying and Filtering Data
The students will be introduced to the basic Transact-SQL (T-SQL) statements
that are used for writing queries, filtering data, and formatting result sets.
Lessons
• Using the SELECT Statement
• Filtering Data
• Working with NULL Values
• Formatting Result Sets • Performance Considerations for Writing Queries Lab :
Querying and Filtering Data
• Retrieving Data by Using the SELECT Statement
• Filtering Data by Using Different Search Conditions
• Using Functions to Work with NULL Values
• Formatting Result Sets
Module 3: Grouping and Summarizing Data
The students will learn to group and summarize data when generating reports in
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 by using aggregate functions and the COMPUTE clause.
Lessons
• Summarizing Data by Using Aggregate Functions
• Summarizing Grouped Data
• Ranking Grouped Data
• Creating Crosstab Queries

Module 4: Joining Data from Multiple Tables
The students will learn to write joins to query multiple tables, as well as
limiting and combining result sets.
Lessons
• Querying Multiple Tables by Using Joins
• Applying Joins for Typical Reporting Needs
• Combining and Limiting Result Set
Lab : Joining Data from Multiple Tables
• Querying Multiple Tables by Using Joins
• Applying Joins for Typical Reporting Needs
• Combining and Limiting Result Sets
Module 5: Working with Subqueries
The students will be introduced to basic and correlated subqueries and how these
compare with joins and temporary tables. The students will also be introduced to
using common table expressions in queries.
Lessons
• Writing Basic Subqueries
• Writing Correlated Subqueries
• Comparing Subqueries with Joins and Temporary Tables
• Using Common Table Expressions
Lab : Working with Subqueries

Module 6: Modifying Data in Tables
The students will be able to modify the data in tables by using the INSERT,
DELETE, and UPDATE statements. In addition, students will examine how
transactions work in a database, the importance of transaction isolation levels,
and how to manage transactions.
Lessons
• Inserting Data into Tables
• Deleting Data from Tables
• Updating Data in Tables
• Overview of Transactions

Module 7: Querying Metadata, XML, and Full-Text Indexes
The students will learn to query semi-structured and unstructured data. The
students will also learn how SQL Server 2008 handles XML data and will query XML
data. The students will also be introduced to full-text indexing in SQL Server
2008.
Lessons

Module 8: Using Programming Objects for Data Retrieval
The students will be introduced to user-defined functions and executing various
kinds of queries by using user-defined functions. The students will be
introduced to SQL Server views that encapsulate data and present users with
limited and relevant information. In addition, the students will be introduced
to SQL Server stored procedures and the functionalities of the various
programming objects. The students will learn how to perform distributed queries
and how SQL Server works with heterogeneous data such as databases,
spreadsheets, and other servers.

Module 9: Using Advanced Querying Techniques
The students will be introduced to best practices for querying complex data. The
students will also examine how to query complex table structures such as data
stored in hierarchies and self-referencing tables. The students will analyze the
recommended guidelines for executing queries and how to optimize query
performance.
Lessons
• Considerations for Querying Data
• Working with Data Types
• Cursors and Set-Based Queries
• Dynamic SQL
• Maintaining Query Files
Lab : Using Advanced Querying Techniques
• Using Execution Plans
