Course description

In this course, you will learn how to build basic queries using Transact-SQL, the language of SQL Server. Then you will learn how to build effective views, stored procedures, triggers, and user-defined fuctions using Transact-SQL. You will learn about the new enhancements to the Transact-SQL programming language including improved support for error handling and hierarchical queries, and how programmers can now use .NET languages like C# and Visual Basic to build database objects.
