IT Courses – Microsoft SQL Server 2016 and 2017 Introduction to Querying

This course provides a measured and relatively gentle introduction to querying data stored in a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 or 2017 database
and could also prove beneficial to delegates who want to refresh their existing querying skills. It is a comprehensive course, with plenty of
illustrated examples and practical hands-on exercises, paving the way to our Advanced Querying programme.
