In this course you will learn how to solve modern data challenges with SQL Server 2022 using a hands-on lab approach.

This course is intended to be taken as a self-paced or instructor-led workshop. A supplement slide deck is available for this course in the slides folder.

This course is designed for data professionals who have a basic working knowledge of SQL Server and the T-SQL language.

This README.MD file explains how the lab is structured, what you will learn, and the technologies you will use in this solution.

When you complete this course, you will be able to:

• XXXXX

• Boost Database Performance with no application changes
• Ensure data is highly available to outages that can disrupt your business.
• Reduce costs of expensive data movement applications
• Learn how to extend the T-SQL language to meet the needs of your application.
• Learn tools and techniques to modernize and migrate to SQL Server 2022.

To complete this workshop you will need the following:

• Clone the workshop using git from https://github.com/microsoft/sqlworkshops-sql2022workshop.git. All the scripts and files in the labs are found in the sql2022workshop folder.
• Install the software as listed in the Setup section below

Each module of this workshop can be studied and used independently of each other or taken all as a single lab. The Modules are designed in a sequence but you can use each of them one at a time at your own pace.

In order to complete this workshop you need to install the following software:

• SQL Server 2022 Evaluation Edition
• Install SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) latest 18 or 19 build from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms. Several of the modules require features built only into SSMS. You may have a better experience in some modules with new features of SSMS 19.
