Overview
This two-day instructor-led course provides database administrators
working in enterprise environments with the knowledge and skills to
design a Microsoft SQL ServerT 2005 database infrastructure. The course
focuses on the development of strategies for data archiving,
consolidation, distribution, and recovery. The course also stresses the
importance of capacity analysis and emphasizes the tradeoffs that need
to be made during design.
This is the first course in the database administration curriculum and
will serve as the entry point for other courses in the curriculum.
Audience
This course
is intended for current professional database administrators who have
three or more years of on-the-job experience administering SQL Server
database solutions in an enterprise environment.
At Course
Completion
After completing this course, students will be able to:
• Analyze storage, CPU, memory, and network capacity needs.
• Design a strategy for data archiving.
• Design a strategy for database server consolidation.
• Design a strategy for data distribution.
• Design a database server infrastructure.
• Design a strategy for data recovery.
• Establish database conventions and standards.
Prerequisites
Before attending this course, students must:
• Understand the tradeoffs among the different redundant storage types.
For example, what RAID levels mean, and how they differ from Storage
Area Networks (SAN).
• Understand how replication works and how replication is implemented.
• Be familiar with reading user requirements and business-need
documents. For example, development project vision/mission statements or
business analysis reports.
• Have some knowledge of how queries execute. Must be able to read a
query execution plan and understand what is happening.
• Have basic knowledge of the dependencies between system components.
• Be able to design a database to third normal form (3NF) and know the
tradeoffs when backing out of the fully normalized design (denormalization)
and designing for performance and business requirements in addition to
being familiar with design models, such as Star and Snowflake schemas.
• Have monitoring and troubleshooting skills.
• Have knowledge of the operating system and platform. That is, how the
operating system integrates with the database, what the platform or
operating system can do, and how the interaction between the operating
system and the database works. For example, how integrated
authentication interacts with Active Directory directory service.
• Have knowledge of application architecture. That is, how applications
can be designed in three layers, what applications can do, interaction
between applications and the database, interaction between the database
and the platform or operating system.
• Must already know how to use:
• A data modeling tool
• Microsoft Office Visio (to create infrastructure diagrams)
• Be familiar with SQL Server 2005 features, tools, and technologies.
