Lead-in As you describe In this course, we each module, will cover... any acknowledge information that will meet the student expectations that you recorded earlier.

Module 1, SQL Server Overview, provides a high-level overview of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 platforms, architecture, components, and security. It also identifies and defines key SQL Server terminology and concepts. This module discusses how well SQL Server integrates with Windows 2000 and other Microsoft server applications. It concludes with an overview of SQL Server administration and SQL Server database implementation, as well as application design options. Module 2, Overview of Programming SQL Server, provides students with an overview of enterprise-level application architecture and Transact-SQL as a programming language. Transact-SQL is a data definition, manipulation, and control language. Students are assumed to be familiar with ANSI-SQL and basic programming concepts, such as functions, operators, variables, and control-of-flow statements. Students will also learn the different ways to execute Transact-SQL. Module 3, Creating and Managing Databases, describes how to create a database, set database options, create filegroups, and manage a database and the transaction log. It reviews disk space allocation and how the transaction log records data modifications.

Introduction

Module 4, Creating Data Types and Tables, describes how to create data types and tables and generate Transact-SQL scripts containing statements that create a database and its objects. Module 5, Implementing Data Integrity, shows how centrally managed data integrity is a benefit of relational databases. This module begins with an introduction to data integrity concepts, including the methods available for enforcing data integrity. The module then introduces a section on constraints. Constraints are the key method for ensuring data integrity. The creation, implementation, and disabling of constraints are discussed. This module also discusses how defaults and rules are an alternate way to enforce data integrity. The module concludes with a comparison of the different data integrity methods. Module 6, Planning Indexes, provides students with an overview of planning indexes. It explains how database performance can be improved with indexes. It discusses how clustered and nonclustered indexes are stored in SQL Server and how SQL Server retrieves rows by using indexes. It also explores how SQL Server maintains indexes. The module concludes with guidelines for deciding which columns to index. Module 7, Creating and Maintaining Indexes, provides students with an overview of creating and maintaining indexes by using the CREATE INDEX options. It describes how maintenance procedures physically change the indexes. The module discusses maintenance tools and describes the use of statistics in SQL Server. It also describes ways to verify that indexes are used and explains how to tell whether they perform optimally. The module concludes with a discussion of when to use the Index Tuning Wizard.

Course Outline (continued)

Module 8, Implementing Views, shows how views provide the ability to store a predefined query as an object in the database for later use. They offer a convenient way to hide sensitive data or the complexities of a database design and to provide a set of information without requiring the user to write or execute Transact-SQL statements. The module also defines views and their advantages. The module then describes creating views and provides examples of projections and joins. These examples illustrate how to include computed columns and built-in functions in the view definitions. The module then covers restrictions on modifying data through views. The last section discusses how views can improve performance. Module 9, Implementing Stored Procedures, describes how to use stored procedures to improve application design and performance by encapsulating business rules. It discusses ways to process common queries and data modifications. The module provides numerous examples and demonstrations of stored procedures. Module 10, Implementing User-defined Functions, discusses the implementation of user-defined functions. It explains the three types of userdefined functions and the general syntax for creating and altering them, and provides an example of each type.

Module 11, Implementing Triggers, shows that triggers are useful tools for database implementers who want to have certain actions performed whenever data is inserted, updated, or deleted from a specific table. They are especially useful tools to cascade changes throughout other tables in the database, while preserving complex referential integrity. Module 12, Programming Across Multiple Servers, provides students with information on how to design security for a multi-server environment. It also explains the construction of distributed queries, distributed transactions, and partitioned views. Module 13, Optimizing Query Performance, provides students with an indepth look at how the query optimizer works, how to obtain query plan information, and how to implement indexing strategies. Module 14, Analyzing Queries, describes how the query optimizer evaluates and processes queries that contain the AND operator, the OR operator, and join operations. Module 15, Managing Transactions and Locks, introduces how transactions and locks ensure transaction integrity while allowing for concurrent use. The module continues with a discussion of how transactions are executed and rolled back. A short animation helps to convey how transaction processing works. The module next describes how SQL Server locks maintain data consistency and concurrency. The module then introduces resources that can be locked, the different types of locks, and lock compatibility. A discussion follows on SQL Server dynamic locking based on schema and query. The final section describes some locking options, discusses deadlocks, and explains how to display information on active locks.

Classroom Setup
The classroom is configured in the single domain/workgroup model, as shown in the following graphic.

Introduction

Each student computer in the classroom has Windows 2000 Advanced Server installed as a stand-alone server in a workgroup. The organization of the classroom is meant to simulate that of a worldwide trading firm named Northwind Traders. Its fictitious domain name is nwtraders.msft. The primary DNS server for nwtraders.msft is the instructor computer, which has an Internet Protocol (IP) address of 192.168.x.200 (where x is the assigned classroom number). The name of the instructor computer is London. The following table provides the user name, computer name, and IP address for each student computer in the fictitious nwtraders.msft domain.

Preparing for an MCP Exam

MOC helps you prepare for MCP exams. However, no one-to-one correlation exists between MOC courses and MCP exams. Microsoft does not expect or intend for MOC to be the sole preparation tool for passing an MCP exam. Practical product knowledge and experience is also necessary to pass an MCP exam. To help prepare for the MCP exams, you can use the preparation guides that are available for each exam. Each Exam Preparation Guide contains exam-specific information, such as a list of the topics on which you will be tested. These guides are available on the Microsoft Certified Professional Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/trainingandservices/

Facilities Topic Objective
