Course Description
Microsoft SQL Server Mastery Bootcamp: Zero to Hero
Master SQL Server from scratch and gain the skills to query, join, analyze, and manage databases like a professional. This course is designed for complete beginners as well as professionals looking to strengthen their SQL Server expertise through a structured and hands-on approach.
You will begin with the fundamentals, including understanding what databases are, how source code works in this context, and an introduction to Generative AI. The course then walks you through the installation of Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), and teaches you how to connect to your database using both Windows and SQL Server authentication methods.
From there, you'll dive deep into core SQL concepts. You’ll learn to use statements such as SELECT, SELECT DISTINCT, AS, COUNT, and explore data filtering techniques using WHERE clauses, ORDER BY, TOP, BETWEEN, IN, and LIKE. You'll practice working with aggregation functions and the GROUP BY statement, and apply filtering using the HAVING clause.
Throughout the course, practical examples and real-world tasks help reinforce learning. You’ll work on assessments to test your skills and assignments with solutions to ensure you're industry-ready.
You’ll then move into mastering JOIN operations, including INNER JOIN, FULL OUTER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, and UNION. This leads into advanced SQL functions like timestamp extraction, mathematical scalar functions, string functions, and writing subqueries.
You’ll also gain practical experience in database design. You’ll learn how to create databases and tables both through SQL scripts and SSMS, understand and define data types, and implement Primary and Foreign Keys. The course includes full CRUD operations—Insert, Update, Delete, Alter, and Drop—and teaches you how to use essential constraints like CHECK, NOT NULL, and UNIQUE to maintain data integrity.
Finally, you'll explore essential administrative tasks, including creating database backups and restoring databases using SSMS, ensuring your data is safe and recoverable.
This bootcamp is ideal for aspiring data analysts, data engineers, software developers, students preparing for interviews, and professionals looking to enhance their technical skill set. Whether you're starting from scratch or want to consolidate your existing knowledge, this course provides everything you need to master SQL Server.
By the end of the course, you will be able to confidently write and optimize SQL queries, design relational databases, perform CRUD operations, execute JOINs and subqueries, manage data constraints, and handle real-world administrative tasks like backup and restore.
