Welcome to the Virtual Training Company's production of a training course on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Administration. I'd like to welcome you to the course. My name is Mark Long and we're going to spend quite a few hours here taking a look at kind of the administrative side of Microsoft SQL Server 2008. Now SQL Server is Microsoft's flagship database product and this thing continues to grow in the marketplace. There's a lot of cool functionalities in it. We're going to kind of take it apart and talk about it as we go through the video here. Now, in administration of SQL Server we're going to be concerned with installing SQL Server, understanding how it thinks, we'll talk about building databases, tables, the right and wrong way to do that, give you some tips on some things to watch for, some gotchas and then we'll just kind of work through the whole idea of administering the database, meaning maintaining it, managing it, understanding how it's thinking, understanding some of the architecture behind the scenes and so forth. And Microsoft naturally divides their SQL Server product really into three sections: Administration, Development and Business Intelligence and so in this video, obviously, in this course, we're going to concentrate on Administration. Now SQL Server 2008 continues to evolve and just get cooler and cooler. You're going to use cooler as a technical term there, and it looks really good on your resume. So this is really good stuff to know and understand and even take a couple of certification exams on. So, glad you joined me. Let's get started with the course and jump into SQL Server 2008 Administration.
