Understanding database concepts
This module introduces students to SQL Server 2016, giving them a broad understanding of SQL Server without going into too much detail. This module is designed to introduce students to information that they might not otherwise encounter. For example, understanding the differences between SQL Server editions might help them to plan a new deployment.

4. Databases. Types of databases - 1
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
A database (db) is an organized collection of data, typically stored in electronic format. It allows you to input, organize, and retrieve data quickly. Traditional databases are organized by fields, records, and files.
Most users do not access a database directly. Instead, they use a database management system (DBMS) to access it indirectly. A DBMS is a collection of programs that enables you to enter, organize, and select data in a database.
A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS) that is based on the relational model invented by Edgar F. Codd

5. Database. Types of databases - 2
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
A flat type database are considered flat because they are two dimensional tables consisting of rows and columns.
A hierarchical database design is similar to a tree structure (such as a family tree).
Each parent can have multiple children, but each child can have only one parent.
A relational database is similar to a hierarchical database in that data is stored in tables and any new information is automatically added into the table without the need to reorganize the table itself.
Different from hierarchical database, a table in a relational database can have multiple parents.

6. 20761B
Flat type database
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
Flat-type databases are simplistic in design. They are most commonly used in plain-text formats. Because their purpose is to hold one record per line, they make access, performance, and queries very quick. An example of this type of database would be what you would find in a .txt or .ini file.

7. Hierarchical database
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
A hierarchical database is similar to a tree structure (such as a family tree). In this database, each “parent” table can have multiple “children,” but each child can have only one parent.

8. 20761B
Relational Databases
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
A relational database is similar to a hierarchical database in that data is stored in tables and any new information is automatically added into the table without the need to reorganize the table itself. Unlike in hierarchical databases, however, a table in a relational database can have multiple parents.

9. Relational Databases – RDMBS – MS SQL
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
SQL Server is a relational database management system
Databases contain objects and data
Each database has multiple tables
Tables are joined together to extract meaningful information
Many people think that a relational database refers to the fact that tables are related to one another. This is not true—a relational database is based on mathematical relational theory, which itself is based on two mathematical concepts called set theory and predicate logic. Although you do not need to know too much about set theory or predicate logic, having some understanding can be helpful when learning SQL Server. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 T-SQL Fundamentals (Itzik Ben-Gan) has an introductory chapter, which gives a good explanation of these two areas, and how they relate to working with SQL Server. If you are interested in learning more, it is worth a read.

TSQL Database

11. Client Server Databases
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
The client software is separate from the server database engine
Client/Server refers to the separation of functionality—not where the software is actually located
Client software and server database engine can be on the same machine
Databases can access data in other databases over a network

12. T-SQL is a set-based language
Queries
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
T-SQL is a set-based language
T-SQL is written in scripts with .sql extension
GO keyword separates batches
Use the example on the slide to illustrate the GO statement that separates a script into batches. Do not go into the details of the CREATE or INSERT commands, which will be described later in the course.
Sharp-eyed students may notice the additional apostrophe needed to insert “O’Neil” and the “N” to denote Unicode characters.
CREATE TABLE dbo.Employees (
EmployeeID int PRIMARY KEY,
LastName nvarchar(25),
FirstName nvarchar(25) ); GO
INSERT INTO dbo.Employees
(EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName)
VALUES
(121, N'O''Neil', N'Carlene');

Question
You have founded a new company with two friends. Your new application (app) uses a SQL Server database to store information. You are unsure whether your app will be successful but, if it is, you will need both high performance and space for large volumes of data. However, you have not yet launched, so are unsure how many people will use your app. Which edition of SQL Server 2016 should you use for this system?
( )Option 1: Azure SQL Database
( )Option 2: Enterprise edition
( )Option 3: Express edition
( )Option 4: Business Intelligence edition
( )Option 5: Any edition is appropriate for these requirements
Answer
(√) Option -2: Azure SQL Database

19. Launch SSMS from the Windows Start screen
20761B
Starting SSMS
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
Launch SSMS from the Windows Start screen
Or type SSMS into the Search Programs and Files box
Connect to a SQL Server instance
Or work disconnected
Settings available in Tools, Options include:
Fonts and colors, line numbering, and word wrap
Which windows open when SSMS is launched
Useful windows include:
Query Editor
Object Explorer
Solution Explorer
Point out that SSMS is the client tool for SQL Server; it is not SQL Server itself. SSMS sends commands to the SQL Server Database Engine. Organizations normally install SSMS on a different machine to the one where SQL Server is installed. The classroom virtual machine may obscure that distinction.

20. Connecting to SQL Server
20761B
Connecting to SQL Server
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
Connecting to SQL Server requires three pieces of information:
Instance name
Use the form host/instance, except for the default instance
Database name
A default database can be assigned to a logon
Authentication
Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication
Account must be provisioned by a database administrator
Question
In your organization, which authentication method do you use to log on to SQL Server?
Answer
Either Windows Authentication or SQL Server Authentication.

21. Working with Object Explorer
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
Object Explorer is a hierarchical, graphical view of SQL Server objects
Explore objects in the default instance, and additional named instances
Right-click for context-sensitive menu with frequently used commands
Create T-SQL scripts of object definitions, and send to the query window, clipboard or a file
Start a new query window by right-clicking a database
Changing the selected object does not change the existing connection
If Object Explorer is not visible, click the F8 keyboard shortcut to display it.

22. Script Files and Projects
20761B
Script Files and Projects
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
T-SQL scripts are text files with a .sql extension
SSMS can open, edit, and execute code in script files
SSMS allows you to organize script files into:
Solutions (*.ssmssln)
Projects (*.ssmssqlproj)
Opening a solution is a convenient way to open all relevant files
You will use projects on this course

23. To execute queries in SSMS:
20761B
Executing Queries
1: Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2016
To execute queries in SSMS:
Open a saved script, or write a new query
Three ways to execute the query:
From the Query menu, select Execute
Press F5
Click the Execute toolbar button
Point out to students that the green triangle starts the T-SQL Debugger and is not the button for executing a query. Students who have worked with other query tools might think the green triangle executes queries.
The workbook also refers to the use of Alt-X and Ctrl-E shortcuts to execute a query, in addition to F5.
Note that Ctrl-Shift-F has changed to Ctrl-Shift-T in SQL Server 2016.
