Introduction
This three-day instructor-led
course provides students with the knowledge and skills to design server-side
solutions for Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The course focuses on teaching
database developers who work in enterprise environments to identify and place
database technologies during design to achieve a suitable solution that meets
the needs of an organization. Students will also learn to consider the solution
from a system-wide view instead of from a single database or server
perspective.
Audience
This
course is intended for current professional database developers who have three
or more years of on-the-job experience developing SQL Server database solutions
in an enterprise environment.

After attending
this course, students will be able to:
•
Select SQL Server services to support an organization's business needs.
•
Design a security strategy for a SQL Server 2005 solution.
• Design
a data modeling strategy.
•
Design a transaction strategy for a SQL Server solution.
•

•
Evaluate advanced XML techniques.
Prerequisite
Before attending this course, students must:
• Have experience reading user
requirements and business-need documents. For example, development project
vision/mission statements or business analysis reports.
• Understand Transact-SQL
syntax and programming logic.
• Understand XML.
Specifically, they must be familiar with the syntax of XML, what elements and
attributes are, and how to distinguish them.
• Understand security
requirements. Specifically, must understand how unauthorized users can gain
access to sensitive information and be able to plan strategies to prevent access.
• Be able to design a
database to 3NF and know the tradeoffs when backing out of the fully normalized
design (denormalization) and designing for performance and business
requirements in addition to being familiar with design models, such as Star and
Snowflake schemas.
• Have basic monitoring and
troubleshooting skills.
• Have basic knowledge of
the operating system and platform. That is, how the operating system integrates
with the database, what the platform or operating system can do, and how
interaction between the operating system and the database works.
• Have basic knowledge of
application architecture. That is, how applications can be designed in three
layers, what applications can do, how interaction between the application and
the database works, and how the interaction between the database and the
platform or operating system works.
• Have some experience with
a reporting tool.
• Be familiar with SQL
Server 2005 features, tools, and technologies.
• Have a Microsoft Certified
Technology Specialist: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 credential, or equivalent
experience.
In addition, it is recommended, but not required, that
students have completed:
• Course 2778: Writing
Queries Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Transact-SQL.
• Course 2779: Implementing
a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database.
• Course 2780: Maintaining a
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database.
