Course Description

SQL Server 2016 offers various clauses that work in conjunction with SELECT statements. These clauses, which include ORDER BY, TOP, OFFSET, and FETCH, determine how the results of a particular query are presented. In addition to clauses, the data manipulation language (DML) will be introduced in this course. The DML contains additional commands to modify data within rows and tables in SQL Server 2016. This course is one of a series of courses that cover the objectives for 70-761: Querying Data with Transact-SQL exam.
