What you’ll learn:
Install and manage SQL Server on your system.
Create and secure tables.
Store and query data; use indexes to improve query performance.
Run procedural code inside your database in the form of Transact–SQL procedures and triggers.
Serve up business reports to in–house users and outside business partners via SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services.
