Module 6: Designing Optimized Index Strategies
Indexes play an important role in enabling SQL Server to retrieve data from a database quickly and efficiently. This module discusses advanced index topics including covering indexes, the INCLUDE clause, query hints, padding and fill factor, statistics, using DMOs, the Database Tuning Advisor, and Query Store.
Lessons
Lab : Optimizing Indexes
Module 7: Columnstore Indexes
This module introduces Columnstore indexes.
Lessons
Lab : Using Columnstore indexes
Module 8: Designing and Implementing Views
This module describes the design and implementation of views.
Lessons
Lab : Designing and Implementing Views
Module 9: Designing and Implementing Stored Procedures
This module describes the design and implementation of stored procedures.
Lessons
Lab : Designing and Implementing Stored Procedures
Module 10: Designing and Implementing User-Defined Functions
This module describes the design and implementation of functions, both scalar and table-valued. (Also discusses where they can lead to performance issues).
Lessons
Lab : Designing and Implementing User-defined Functions
Module 11: Responding to Data Manipulation via Triggers
This module describes the design and implementation of triggers.
Lessons
Lab : Responding to Data Manipulation via Triggers
Module 12: Using In-Memory Tables
This module covers the creation of in-memory tables and native stored procedures. Furthermore, advantages of in-memory tables are discussed, for example the removal of transaction blocking.
Lessons
Lab : In Memory OLTP
Module 13: Implementing Managed Code in SQL Server
This module describes the implementation of and target use-cases for SQL CLR integration.
Lessons
Lab : Implementing Managed Code in SQL Server
Module 14: Storing and Querying XML Data in SQL Server
This module covers the XML data type, schema collections, typed and un-typed columns and appropriate use cases for XML in SQL Server.
Lessons
Lab : Storing and Querying XML Data in SQL Server
Module 15: Working with SQL Server Spatial Data
This module describes spatial data and how this data can be implemented within SQL Server.
Lessons
Lab : Working with SQL Server Spatial Data
Module 16: Storing and Querying Blobs and Text Documents in SQL Server
This module covers full text indexes and queries.
Lessons
Lab : Storing and Querying Blobs and Text Documents in SQL Server
Module 17: SQL Server Concurrency
This module explains how to name, declare, assign values to, and use variables. It also describes how to store data in an array. Concurrency control is a critical feature of multiuser database systems; it allows data to remain consistent when many users are modifying data at the same time. This module covers the implementation of concurrency in Microsoft SQL Server. You will learn about how SQL Server implements concurrency controls, and the different ways you can configure and work with concurrency settings.
Lessons
Lab : SQL Server Concurrency
Module 18: Performance and Monitoring
This module explains how to name, declare, assign values to, and use variables. It also describes how to store data in an array. This module looks at how to measure and monitor the performance of your SQL Server databases. The first two lessons look at SQL Server Extended Events, a flexible, lightweight event-handling system built into the Microsoft SQL Server Database Engine. These lessons focus on the architectural concepts, troubleshooting strategies and usage scenarios.
Lessons
