Advanced Programming and Query
Tuning in SQL Server
AdvSQLProg - Version: 1

4 days course

Description:
This course takes programming and query tuning in SQL Server from the basic
level to the advanced, providing students with tools and techniques that will
allow them to write code for a broad range of requirements while optimizing
performance, and on the other hand, optimize performance of existing SQL
Server queries and processes. Throughout the course, the students will analyze
different case studies while comparing several approaches for each one and
choosing the best solutions.
The course is based on SQL Server 2019, but it is relevant also for previous
versions of SQL Server.

Intended Audience:
The course is intended for developers who are responsible for either writing
Transact-SQL code or tuning already written Transact-SQL code. Students should
be familiar with basic programming and with the syntax of Transact SQL.
