Essential SQL Server Administration Tips (Course Preview)

SQL Server is one of the world’s leading data platforms. It is a mature platform, full of features that enable you to store, organize, retrieve and transform your data into useful business insights and knowledge. Like in all Database Management Systems, in order for your SQL Server instances to operate to the best possible level in terms of stability, performance and security, you need to properly administer and maintain them.

I have been working with SQL Server for almost 20 years. Along with that, I have been a SQL Server community leader for over 10 years and counting. For 9 years, I have been a Microsoft Data Platform MVP, focusing on SQL Server. Since I really enjoy talking about SQL Server and working with this powerful data platform, I decided to carefully design an online course, in order to help you with your SQL Server journey and via this course, to share my expertise with you, on several SQL Server administration topics.

Now, my online course is live and its title is “Essential SQL Server Administration Tips“,
