SQL Programming / SQL Server

Carljohnson1983

Good Afternoon All,

SO I am a total beginner to SQL,
If I was to learn SQL Server via the Microsoft route does that teach you the Programming Side of SQL at all?

Well to start with if you go down the Database route you'll learn all the fundamentals about Databases. Then with that knowledge you can start going onto the MCSA; Here you'll learn how to query, administer and finally starting to get more specialised like data warehousing.

After that you'll start to pick a profession within the MCSE qualification route:

You really do have a vast choice but programming is near the end, learn a solid foundation and you'll do fine

Based on my experience, I think that YES.


For me - before I started to learn SQL Server - it was important to learn the basics of relational databases (for example: what is a table, what is a relation).
