SQL Server Fundamentals Tutorial

Welcome to this introductory guide to SQL Server.

This tutorial will cover the fundamental concepts of SQL Server.

Key Concepts

SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS).

It's used for a wide variety of applications, including data warehousing, business intelligence, and reporting.

Database Design

SQL Server uses the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) to describe the structure of a database. It defines tables, columns, and relationships between tables.

Key elements include:

• Tables: Groups of data organized into rows and columns.
• Columns: Each column represents a specific attribute.
• Relationships: Connections between tables that allow data to be linked between them.
