Welcome to Encryption in SQL Server 2019 . In this course you'll learn about the sundry approaches Microsoft uses to encrypt data.  Microsoft SQL Server supports 5 different kinds of encryption for protecting data.  While you'll learn about all of them the course will focus on the most recent and most often used approaches to encrypting your data. In this course you implement two types of data encryption in SQL Server 2019 and one type that's not encryption but is a solid option for securing data. They are: Column Level Encryption Transparent Level Encryption Dynamic Data Masking Encryption is the process of obfuscating data by the use of a key or password. This can make the data useless without the corresponding decryption key or password. Encryption does not solve access control problems. However, it enhances security by limiting data loss even if access controls are bypassed. You can use encryption in SQL Server for connections, data, and stored procedures. Data protection is critical for ensuring that your organization is compliant with regulatory compliance standards like the GDPR and for meeting the expectations of your clients and business partners. Not only can data breaches result in large fines, but the reputational damage can be just as great. One you've completed this course, you'll have a solid understanding of data encryption techniques in SQL Server. Thanks for your interest in Encryption in SQL Server 2019 . Let's get started.

Some recent reviews!!! "I can't thank Mike enough for providing such useful information without cost ; the content in this course is invaluable ." Ken "Thank you for the 10 " David V " Great Course." David S This course focuses on 10 things that every SQL Server in production should have. We will start with the single MOST important facet to every SQL Server DBAs job. Backups . We will cover the different kinds of backups and discuss how often we should be taking them. We will demo restores so WE understand the mechanics of how SQL Server backups up a database. We will talk about the importance of the FULL backup and what having it means to recovery. WE will cover consistency checks and talk about how often they should be run and why they should be run. WE will cover statistics and index REBUILDS and how and why we should use them. Lastly, WE will cover how to set up database MAIL so we can be alerted when OUR jobs fail. Many organizations don't have production DBAs so this course can assist them with setting up the very basic necessities for a production SQL Server. This is an entry level course and can be taken by developers, network administrators and database administrators. The course is even well suited for those who manage DBAs. The course is a real world approach to setting up your SQL Server in a production environment. The course if FREE so sign up now.

In this course you will learn all about SQL Server's In-Memory Database Processing Engine also known as In-Memory OLTP. To this end, you will learn how to enable In-Memory OLTP in SQL Server, what memory-optimized tables and natively-compiled stored procedures are, as well as, how to boost the performance of your data processes using this powerful SQL Server feature. In-Memory OLTP, is SQL Server's Database In-Memory Processing Engine, seamlessly integrated into its Database Engine. With its two main components, that is memory-optimized tables and natively-compiled stored procedures, In-Memory OLTP can help you achieve significant performance improvements and speedups for many of your data processes. In-Memory OLTP was originally shipped with SQL Server 2014 but was significantly enhanced in SQL Server 2016 and later. From SQL Server 2016 SP1 and later, In-Memory OLTP is available for use in all editions of SQL Server (besides the LocalDB edition), which is something that makes it a must, to at least try this great feature in SQL Server. Especially now, in this data-driven era we live in, where business decisions and many other areas depend on the fast analysis of large sets of data, maintaining a low latency for your data processes is critical. SQL Server's In-Memory OLTP Engine can help with that. Via my course " Boost SQL Server Database Performance with In-Memory OLTP ", you will get introduced to SQL Server In-Memory OLTP and you will learn how to start using it fast and easy. Since In-Memory OLTP is integrated into SQL Server's Database Engine, it is very easy to start using it. By the time you work with memory-optimized tables and natively-compiled stored procedures via the well-known T-SQL, it makes it easy to start using memory-optimized tables and natively-compiled stored procedures too. Via my course, I provide all the necessary knowledge and hands-on guides, that will help you start using In-Memory OLTP and realize its huge potential when it comes to significantly improving the performance of your data processes. AFTER THE COURSE YOU WILL KNOW: What is the In-Memory OLTP Engine in SQL Server and how it works What Memory-Optimized Tables are and which are their main characteristics What Natively-Compiled Stored Procedures are and how they work How to Use In-Memory OLTP for Boosting the Performance of your Data Processes, by utilizing memory-optimized tables and natively-compiled stored procedures How to migrate your data processes to In-Memory OLTP How to find the right candidate databases, data processes and tables for migrating it to In-Memory OLTP How to analyze your tables and stored procedures prior to planning their migration to In-Memory OLTP Ways to estimate if your workload's performance can benefit from In-Memory OLTP PREREQUISITES: Basic knowledge of SQL Server and data principles THIS COURSE CONTAINS/OFFERS: 2.5 hours of high-quality video Live demonstrations and hands-on guides Useful quizzes for testing your knowledge on each section Many downloadable resources (i.e. summaries and T-SQL scripts) A practice test in the end of the course Ability to ask the instructor questions via the Q&A section Certificate on course completion

Microsoft SQL Server also known as SQL Server is a mature technology which can be used not just by developers but by marketers, sales teams, product managers and much more - it is a query language that allows you to ask questions from securely stored data. Think of it this way - any business on this planet makes money with data. The fancy user interfaces, cool animations are nice but that's not what makes the money. Think about it... when you go to Facebook or Instagram do you care about the fancy animations and user interface or do you care to see your friends, what they are up to, check out events and be part of the goings on of that entire digital ecosystem? Of course it is the second choice... the fancy user interfaces are cool and make the experience pleasant but in the end you care about your friends and what they are up to, you care about being part of the ecosystem... Now your friends, followers, events, what everyone is up to is data and as I mentioned before that is what makes companies money. Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) is one of the most mature technologies that allows companies to handle data, store it securely, access it quickly and much more. Now if you know about Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) and you know how to create database objects, how to normalize tables, how to retrieve data, prepare reports, insert and delete data safely and you know about best practices then you are an amazingly valuable asset to the company. If you have a business that you are trying to grow and have data which you are trying to handle then Microsoft SQL Server (SQL Server) is a great choice which is another reason for you to learn this skill. Now guess what? All of those things we will be learning in this course and MUCH more! Take my advice and learn this valuable skill, you will not regret it. After dedicating only a few days and really focusing you can acquire this valuable skill and set a new course for your life.

In this course we will learn the basic-intermediate level about Structured Query Language A.K.A "Sequel" or SQL. We will use Sql server 2017 version but we will make a quick comparison between with it's predecessor. Since this is the first course that I created, bare with my deep accent and the way I pronounce the words. But the good thing is while I'm teaching and talking in front of my computer, It will improve my English proficiency. Happy programming :-)
