Become a SQL Server DBA Course Syllabus
1.
Description This course teaches the DBA (Database Administrator) profession based on Microsoft SQL Server. It covers all the aspects of the DBA work and all the components and features in SQL Server. The course begins with relational database basics, and goes through all the development as well as administration aspects of SQL Server. It also provides an introduction to the world of business intelligence (BI). The course is based on SQL Server 2012, but it is relevant also for SQL Server 2005/2008/R2. The course is composed of several units, each one divided into modules. Each module includes a lot of exercises, in class as well as at home, in order to allow the students to practice each topic learned. At the end of each unit, the students will be given an exam to summarize all the topics learned in the unit. Near the end of the course, the students will be given a summary project that simulates a real-life scenario. The summary project covers most of the topics learned throughout the course. At the end of the course, a few lessons will be dedicated to preparing the students to the following Microsoft certification exams: 70-461: Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012 70-462: Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases 70-463: Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 70-464: Developing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases 70-465: Designing Database Solutions for Microsoft SQL Server 2012
These exams are required in order to acquire the MCSA: SQL Server 2012 certification as well as the MCSE: Data Platform certification. During the course, where possible and appropriate, the students will be given the opportunity to participate in internship positions, where they can earn valuable experience from the field. At the end of the course, Madeira will guide the students through the process of seeking a SQL Server DBA position, and help them find a job. Outstanding students will be offered a job at Madeira.
