Creating Tables and Other Objects
In this chapter, you will learn how to create various objects within the SQL Server database. Primarily, we’ll focus on creating tables and objects, such as indexes and constraints, that are closely related to tables. To get the most out of this chapter, you should follow along using SQL Server Management Studio and the instance of SQL Server you installed in Chapter 2. It is important to note that there are multiple ways to create object in SQL Server. Two of the most common ways are by issuing Transact SQL (T-SQL) statements directly to SQL Server using a tool such as SSMS or SQLCMD and by using the management dialogs in a management tool like SSMS.
