Module 2: Work With Data
In this module, you will learn how to work with data. We start first with querying data using the SELECT statement moving from simple queries to complex joins. We will then see how to implement subqueries and data types. Finally, we will see how to implement aggregate queries and manage XML data.
Lesson 5: Query Data by Using SELECT Statements
In this lesson, you will learn how to create efficient queries that filter data using predicates. We will examine methods to control query results, as well as write complex queries using multiple tables. Finally, we will implement statements that load and create tables.
Lesson 6: Implement Subqueries
In this lesson, you will learn how to create and implement subqueries to manage complex statements. We will examine both derived tables and common table expressions (CTEs). Finally, we will implement PIVOT and UNPIVOT operators in queries.
Lesson 7: Implement Data Types
In this lesson, you will learn the uses and limitations of data types. We will implement data types for columns, keys, numbers, and data and time. We will then work with string and other data types.
Lesson 8: Implement Aggregate Queries
In this lesson, you will learn how to group data in queries by implementing single and multiple grouping sets. We will also see how to apply window aggregate, ranking, and offset functions in queries.
Lesson 9: Query and Manage XML Data
In this lesson, you will learn how to return results as XML. We will see how to query XML data using XQUERY. Finally, we will examine best practices in using the XML data type.
