DP-080T00: Query and modify data with Transact-SQL

DP-080T00: Query and modify data with Transact-SQL

Duration: 2 Days

This course will teach the basics of Microsoft's dialect of the standard SQL language: Transact-SQL. Topics include both querying and modifying data in relational databases that are hosted in Microsoft SQL Server-based database systems, including: Microsoft SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Microsoft Fabric. The official DP-080T00 curriculum focuses on these skills.

This course can be valuable for anyone who needs to write basic SQL or Transact-SQL queries. This includes anyone working with data as a data analyst, a data engineer, a data scientist, a database administrator or a database developer. It can also be useful for others peripherally involved with data, or wanting to learn more about working with data such as solution architects, students and technology managers. In particular, people who want official training for DP-080T00 will find this course helpful.
