Just as there is a book, “Astro Physics for Dummies”, there too is a session "SQL for Dummies". We are not calling you dumb; quite the contrary. This session is meant to serve those who consider their knowledge of SQL at the beginner level, and who want more in-depth knowledge to get started. Learn how to query SQL tables within Microsoft SQL Server, the basic query for tables, and database views and how to write them. No prior knowledge of SQL is required to be successful in this session. If attending all three SQL sessions, please consider this Part I of the series. This session is shared across the User Group Summit conferences, with attendees from all User Groups (AXUG, CRMUG, GPUG, and NAVUG) invited to attend.
