An Introduction to Database
Development
Module Overview

• Introduction to the SQL Server Platform

• Working with SQL Server Tools
• Configuring SQL Server Services
Lesson 1: Introduction to the SQL Server
Platform

• SQL Server Architecture

• SQL Server Components
• SQL Server Instances
• SQL Server Editions
• SQL Server Versions
SQL Server Architecture

• Complete set of enterprise-ready technologies

and tools
• More than a simple relational database management
system
• Manage organizational data
• Derive value from information within the data
• High performance
• Secure
• Scalable

• Low total cost of ownership

• Highly integrated platform
• Productive management and development tools
SQL Server Components

• SQL Server is not just a database engine

• SQL Server includes the following components:

SQL Server Components

Database Engine Analysis Services
Integration Services Reporting Services
Master Data Services Microsoft
StreamInsight™
Data Mining Full-Text Search
PowerPivot Replication
Data Quality Services Power View
SQL Server Instances

• Many SQL Server components are instance-aware:

• Database Engine/Data Quality Services
• Analysis Services/Data Mining
• Reporting Services/Integration Services

• Instances allow for the isolation of:

• Administration and security configuration
• Performance and service level agreements
• Versions and collations

• Instances can assist with upgrade scenarios

• There are two instance types:
• Default instance
• Named instances
SQL Server Editions

• Premium Editions
• Enterprise
• Parallel Data Warehouse

• Core Editions
• Standard
• Business Intelligence

• Other Editions
• SQL Azure
• Developer
• Express
• Compact
• Web

Lesson 2: Working with SQL Server Tools

• Connecting from Clients and Applications

• Software Layers for Connections
• SQL Server Management Studio
• SQL Server Data Tools
• Demonstration: Using SQL Server Management
Studio
Connecting from Clients and Applications

• Client applications and tools connect via protocols

to endpoints
• TDS
• SQL Server Native Client (SNAC)
• Transported by TCP/IP, Named Pipes, or Shared Memory

• Users (or the applications) must be authenticated

by SQL Server
• Windows logins
• Windows groups
• SQL Server logins

• Connection is made to a server and a database

• Can be the name of the server for the default instance
• Can be a named instance

SQL Server Management Studio

• Integrated environment for working with SQL

Server
• Querying data
• Configuring servers
• Managing servers
• Administering databases

• Graphical tools for working with many SQL Server

components
• Connect to Database Engine, Analysis Services,
Reporting Services, Integration Services, and SQL Server
Compact
• Project system with rich script editors
• Scripts to automate common tasks and deployment
SQL Server Data Tools

• SQL Server Data Tools enables SQL Server

development within Visual Studio
• SQL Server Data Tools can be used to administer
both on-premises and cloud-based databases
Demonstration: Using SQL Server Management
Studio

In this demonstration, you will see how to:

• Use SSMS to connect to an on-premises instance
of SQL Server 2014
• Run a T-SQL script
• Open a SQL Server Management Studio project
• Connect to servers and databases
• Register servers
Lesson 3: Configuring SQL Server Services

• SQL Server Configuration Manager

• SQL Server Services
• Network Ports and Listeners
• Creating Server Aliases
• Other SQL Server Tools
• Demonstration: Using SQL Server Profiler
SQL Server Configuration Manager

• Manages services associated with SQL Server

• Manages network protocols and ports exposed by
SQL Server
• Manages network protocols and ports used by
client applications on the server when connecting
to the same or other servers
SQL Server Services

• Many SQL Server components provide operating

system services
• Instance-aware components provide a service per
instance
• Services have identities within Windows
• Avoid excessive privileges
• Services can be configured to auto-start
Network Ports and Listeners

• Each protocol has configurable properties

• Server and client configurations are available
Creating Server Aliases

• Aliases can be used as an abstraction for a client

• Server name
• Protocol
• Port or network configuration

• Multiple aliases can point to the same server

Other SQL Server Tools

• SQL Server Profiler

• Database Engine Tuning Advisor
• Reporting Services Configuration Manager
• Data Quality Services Client
• SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
• PowerShell Provider
• SQL Server Management Objects (SMO)
Demonstration: Using SQL Server Profiler

In this demonstration, you will see how to:

• Start a SQL Server Profiler trace
• View a SQL Server Profiler trace
