Overview

6+ Hours of Video Instruction

Help non-DBAs learn the critical skills they need to manage SQL Servers.

Description

SQL Server is installed behind many third-party applications and behind Microsoft development tools such as Visual Studio. System administrators and developers alike are increasingly responsible for working with and managing SQL Server with no prior exposure or background. Further, they need to understand thebasics of relational databases and technologies, such as indexing and stored procedures, to effectively develop applications. This video covers SQL Server from their perspectives and gives them what they need to manage these instances.

SQL Server 2016 Fundamentals for the Accidental DBA LiveLessons is for power users, developers, IT pros, and anyone who manages SQL Server without formal DBA training. Eric Johnson shows you how to perform the essential DBA tasks with SQL Server 2016, even if you’ve never had any DBA training. In these lessons, you learn at your own pace through realistic hands-on examples that walk you through every step. While these lessons are taught on SQL Server 2016 and use the latest tools and features, most of what you learn can be applied to earlier versions as well. If you are an accidental DBA–expected to run Microsoft SQL Server efficiently, reliably, and securely, when nobody ever taught you how--then this is the video for you. From backup/restore to indexing to scheduling to memory management, you get all the personal, practical DBA training you’ll ever need.
