This class is designed for New or Non-DBAs struggling with SQL admin tasks, and having to Google things frequently.

I will teach you SQL Server fundamentals so that you will have confidence in:
• What makes up a SQL Server
• How a database is structured
• How to install and what to look out for
• Finding what you need in Management Studio
• SQL Security Basics
• How to create and manage backups
• How to create a database
• Basic performance troubleshooting
• Picking a Disaster Recovery option for your environment

These are taught from a foundational standpoint, in simple to understand terms so that you can build on them with confidence.

My teaching is heavy on interaction, with examples from years of experience/mistakes. There will be a mix of slides and demos.

I will skip many advanced features that are out of scope of a beginner class, as I don't want your head to explode!

Join me for the day and you will walk out with a strong grasp of SQL Admin basics!
