SQL Server 2000 Database Design MCSE 70-229 eLearning Course Series (21 hours)
This series of courses serves as preparation for Microsoft Exam 70-229: "Designing and Implementing Databases with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition," which is one of several electives for the MCSE certification track, and a core requirement for MCDBA certification. Topics covered include developing a logical data model, implementing the database and objects, retrieving and modifying data using Transact-SQL and XML, using indexes and views, programming business logic (stored procedures, functions, views, triggers), tuning and optimizing data access, and designing a database security plan. This series is tightly focused on exam preparation and review, not on providing general knowledge. Some background knowledge and hands-on experience with enterprise systems and relational databases is assumed.
