This MS SQL Server Specialization provides a structured, end-to-end learning pathway that takes learners from core relational database concepts to advanced SQL Server administration and analytics. Learners begin by understanding RDBMS fundamentals, SQL Server architecture, and essential querying techniques, then progressively develop skills in database design, data integrity, performance tuning, automation, and operational reliability. The Specialization further explores modern SQL Server capabilities such as JSON data handling, graph databases, and in-database analytics using R and Python, enabling learners to work with both structured and semi-structured data. Designed with hands-on practice, graded assessments, and real-world scenarios, this program prepares learners for roles such as SQL Developer, Database Administrator, and Data Analyst in enterprise environments.
Applied Learning Project
Learners will complete practical, scenario-based projects that involve designing relational databases, writing optimized SQL queries, implementing backup and recovery plans, and analyzing performance issues. Advanced projects include working with JSON data, graph relationships, and embedded analytics to solve realistic business and data engineering problems using SQL Server.
