1 day course

In the course SQL: Fundamentals of Querying (Third Edition), you performed basic SQL querying. Because of various business conditions and requirements, in addition to querying the database, you may need to restructure and index tables. You may also need to manipulate the data in the tables using advanced queries. In this course, SQL: Advanced Querying (Third Edition), you will create advanced SQL queries to manipulate and index tables

Course Objective:

You will work with advanced queries to manipulate and index tables. You will also create transactions so that you can choose to save or cancel data entry process.

Prerequisites:

To ensure your success, we recommend you first take the following Element K courses, or have equivalent skills and knowledge:

• SQL : Fundamentals of Querying
• Windows XP Professional : Level 1 and Windows XP Professional : Level 2 or Windows XP : Introduction
