Beginning SQL Server 2008 for Developers:
From Novice to Professional
Dear Reader,
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is one of today’s market-leading, relational database
management systems. Learn SQL Server 2008 well, and you can manage data in
everything from enterprise data centers to handheld PDAs and mobile phones
that run Windows Embedded CE. Knowing SQL Server is key to developing use-
ful applications in a Microsoft environment.
The aim of this book is for you to be confident when installing, setting up,
and working with SQL Server 2008. This book assumes little to no knowledge
about databases in general or about SQL Server 2008 in particular. By the time
you have worked through the examples, you will be able to create and manage
your own database solutions. You will be well on your way to becoming a highly
proficient SQL Server developer.
As you read this book, you’ll find terminology and features explained every
step of the way through instruction and example. I cover the basics of T-SQL—
SQL Server’s data-manipulation language—before introducing more advanced
techniques. Whenever possible, I show you both the GUI- and text-based
approaches to completing a task. I show you how to build a database example
from beginning to end, and I demonstrate and explain every stage of database
development. Creating your own example database will increase your skill and
improve your understanding of SQL Server.
By the end of the book, you will have made a significant step toward becoming
a competent SQL Server developer and database administrator. You’ll have the
skills and solid base of understanding needed to productively deliver database
solutions in SQL Server 2008. It’s my hope that knowing SQL Server will be as
good for your career as it has been for my own.
Sincerely,
Robin Dewson
