If SQL Server Management Studio is the only database tool you've used, this course introduces SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) as a more structured way to build and manage databases, with wildcard completion, IntelliSense and built-in refactoring support.

What you'll build

  • A new database created from scratch inside SSDT
  • Changes made safely to an existing database
  • Database source control set up with Git
  • A refactored, better-organized database structure
  • An automated CI/CD pipeline for deploying database changes

In 16 focused lessons with Tim Corey, you move from ad-hoc database edits to a repeatable DevOps workflow you can apply to real projects.
