• Relational Databases
• About the Course Sample Database
• Client Server Databases
• Queries
Relational Databases

Relational databases:
• Typically comprise of multiple tables
• Use joins to extract related data from multiple
objects
• Typically contain objects and data

Table: Customers SELECT *


FROM Orders
LEFT JOIN Customers
ON Orders.CustomerID = Customers.ID
WHERE Customers.ID = 134;

Table: Orders

• Represents a business with products, customers,
orders, suppliers, employees

• HR, Production, Sales
• Contains sample tables, views
• Scripts provided with labs and demos to recreate
database if needed
About the Course Sample Database

Client Server Databases

• Client software is separate from database engine


• Client software and database engine can be on
the same machine or connected over a network
• With correct configuration, databases can access
data in other databases over the network
Queries

• Set-based language
• Scripts
• Batches
CREATE TABLE HumanResources.Employees(
EmployeeID int PRIMARY KEY,
LastName nvarchar(25), FirstName nvarchar(25) );

GO

INSERT INTO HumanResources.Employees(

Starting SSMS

• Launch SSMS from the Windows Start screen


• Or type "SSMS" into the "Search Programs and Files"
box
• Connect to an instance or work disconnected
• Settings include:
• Fonts and colors, line numbering, word wrap
• Which windows open at start

• Useful windows include query editor, Object


Explorer, and Solution Explorer
Connecting to SQL Server

• Connecting to SQL Server requires three items:


• Instance name
• Use the form host\instance, except for the default instance
• Database name
• A default database can be assigned to logons
• Authentication
• May be Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication
• Account must be provisioned by a database administrator
Working with Object Explorer

• Object Explorer is a graphical tool for managing SQL


Server and browsing objects at instance and database
levels
• Context-sensitive shortcut menus provide frequently
used commands
• Object definitions can be scripted out as T-SQL
statements to a query window, the clipboard, or a file
• New query windows can be started by right-clicking
databases in Object Explorer
• Changing the selected object in Object Explorer does not
change the existing connection in the query window
Working with Script Files and Projects

• T-SQL scripts are text files, typically given an .sql


extension
• SSMS can open, edit, and execute code in script files
directly
• SSMS can also organize scripts into logical containers.
• Scripts can be associated with SQL Server Script
projects (*.ssmssqlproj)
• Projects can be organized in solutions (*.ssmssln)
• Opening a solution in SSMS provides convenient access
to scripts in projects
• You will use projects throughout this course and its labs
Executing Queries

• To execute queries in SSMS:


• Open an existing script or start a new query editor
document
• Type in or select existing T-SQL statements
• Select Execute from the Query menu, press F5, or click
the Execute toolbar button
Using Books Online

• Books Online is the product documentation for


SQL Server
• In SQL Server 2014, Books Online does not ship
with the SQL Server installation media
• Configure Help to display content from MSDN
Library or download Help Collections to a local
computer
• Once configured, Help is available from:
• SSMS query editor (context-sensitive)
• SSMS Help menu
• Windows Start menu
