  • Duration

    3 Days

This 3 day course is for delegates looking to master the essential skills of maintaining a Microsoft SQL Server 2014.

Concise and hands-on, it is aimed at quickly getting students familiar with the Microsoft SQL Server 2014 administration concepts, tools and utilities. The installation of SQL Server 2014, covered in the first module of the course, is optional and can be omitted to free up time for other topics if desired.

Attendees will gain insight into the infrastructure and architecture of SQL Server, enabling individuals to fully understand the product with which they are dealing. Configuration of server instances and databases is given full treatment, as are database transaction logs, and the creation and maintenance of indexes.

Concise treatment is given to managing SQL Server security, at both the server and database level. The focus then shifts to examining how best to move and protect data, such as when importing or exporting it between heterogeneous data sources, backing it up to external media, and restoring data from a backup.

Many tasks involved in the day to day administration of a SQL Server instance can be performed automatically, making an administrator’s life much simpler. The final part of the course looks at monitoring and troubleshooting SQL Server performance and related issues.

This course can only be run at your offices.
