Lessons:

Writing Simple SELECT Statements

Eliminate Duplicates with DISTINCT

Using Column and Table Aliases

Write Simple CASE Expressions

Lab : Writing Basic SELECT Statements

Learning Objectives:

This module explains how to write queries which combine data from multiple sources in SQL Server. The module introduces the use of JOINs in T-SQL queries as a mechanism for retrieving data from multiple tables.

Lessons:

Understanding Joins

Querying with Inner Joins

Querying with Outer Joins

Querying with Cross Joins and Self Joins

Lab : Querying Multiple Tables

Learning Objectives:

This module explains how to enhance queries to limit the rows they return, and to control the order in which the rows are displayed. The module also discusses how to resolve missing and unknown results.

Lessons:

Sorting Data

Filtering Data with Predicates

Filtering with the TOP and OFFSET-FETCH

Working with Unknown Values

Lab : Sorting and Filtering Data

Learning Objectives:

This module explains the data types SQL Server uses to store data. It introduces the many types of numeric and special-use data types. It also explains conversions between data types, and the importance of type precedence.

Lessons:

Introducing SQL Server 2014 Data Types

Working with Character Data

Working with Date and Time Data

Lab : Working with SQL Server 2014 Data Types

Learning Objectives:

This module describes the use of Transact-SQL Data Manipulation Language to perform inserts, updates, and deletes to your data.

Lessons:

Inserting Data

Modifying and Deleting Data

Lab : Using DML to Modify Data

Learning Objectives:

This module introduces the use of functions that are built in to SQL Server Denali, and will discuss some common usages including data type conversion, testing for logical results and nullability.

Lessons:

Writing Queries with Built-In Functions

Using Conversion Functions

Using Logical Functions

Using Functions to Work with NULL

Lab : Using Built-In Functions

Learning Objectives:

This module introduces methods for grouping data within a query, aggregating the grouped data and filtering groups with HAVING. The module is designed to help the student grasp why a SELECT clause has restrictions placed upon column naming in the GROUP BY clause as well as which columns may be listed in the SELECT clause.

Lessons:

Using Aggregate Functions

Using the GROUP BY Clause

Filtering Groups with HAVING

Lab : Grouping and Aggregating Data

Learning Objectives:

This module will introduce the use of subqueries in various parts of a SELECT statement. It will include the use of scalar and multi-result subqueries, and the use of the IN and EXISTS operators.

Lessons:

Writing Self-Contained Subqueries

Writing Correlated Subqueries

Using the EXISTS Predicate with Subqueries

Lab : Using Subqueries

Learning Objectives:

This module introduces T-SQL expressions which return a valid relational table, typically for further use in the query. The module discusses views, derived tables, common table expressions and inline table-valued functions.

Lessons:

Using Views

Using Inline Table-Valued Functions

Using Derived Tables

Using Common Table Expressions

Lab : Using Table Expressions

Learning Objectives:

This module introduces the set operators UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT to compare rows between two input sets

Lessons:

Writing Queries with the UNION Operator

Using EXCEPT and INTERSECT

Using APPLY

Lab : Using Set Operators

Learning Objectives:

This module introduces window functions including ranking, aggregate and offset functions. Much of this functionality is new to SQL Server 2012. It will cover the use of T-SQL functions such as ROW_NUMBER, RANK, DENSE_RANK, NTILE, LAG, LEAD, FIRST_VALUE and LAST_VALUE to perform calculations against a set, or window, of rows.
