Database and SQL: Two 1-Hour Crash Courses (Quick Glance)

Modeling a Database, Adding Data, Publishing your SQL Server Database on the Web and Making the Database Do What You Want

Databases are used in every major organization, every mid-sized organization, and almost all minor organizations. Databases are where the corporate information is kept, so if you want to manage the information, you are going to need to manage the database. This chapter shows how to setup (or model) a database, how to put data into it, and how to publish a SQL Server database to the Web.

SQL, or Structured Query Language, is the language of databases. Nearly all relational databases use similar forms of SQL, so if you’ve learned one version of it, you can work on pretty much any database. This gives you a taste of what SQL is and what you can do with it.
