How do we control code that executes serially?
Let's cover ORDER BY at a more granular level.
A few final thoughts on learning transact.
Transact-SQL is integral to the power of SQL Server.
Transact-SQL features allow developers to create scalable, distributed applications to meet the demanding requirements of modern organizations.
In this course we will move beyond the basics of Transact and learn advanced coding techniques that you can immediately integrate into your real world code.
The code for each lesson will be available in the course download lecture so you can cut and paste example into your learning environment.
This isn’t a structured course that walks you through all the basics categories of the language.
This course will be a hodgepodge of real world questions taken from sundry SQL Server forums that answer real world problems specific to transact-sql.
For example, did you know you can use the CASE statement in the ORDER BY clause? I have a short lesson on how to do just that.
While this course isn’t a true expert level course I would highly recommend you have some basic experience with transact or have taken my introductory level course and worked through the example.
