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

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'll 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!
