Microsoft Sql Server

The SQL course content is in line with the requirements for clearing the Microsoft SQL Server certification exam. You will be working on real-time projects and step-by-step assignments that have high relevance in the corporate world, and the course curriculum is designed by industry experts. SQL Server provides tutorials to help you learn new technologies and features. Tutorials for earlier versions can usually be used with more recent versions. When tutorials address a newer feature, they will indicate the minimum version to complete the tutorial. If a tutorial uses one of the Adventure Works databases, you should download and use. Azure SQL is a family of fully managed, secure, and intelligent SQL database services, built upon the same SQL Server engine. With Azure SQL, you can rehost SQL workloads on SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines, modernize existing applications with Azure SQL Managed Instance, and support modern cloud applications with Azure SQL Database. We recommend Azure SQL Edge, a real-time data engine, optimized for IoT workloads that is backed by the security and performance of the same engine that powers SQL Server and Azure SQL. Stream, store, and analyze data at the source in connected, disconnected, or hybrid environments.
