Learn effective and scalable database design techniques in SQL Server 2019 and other recent SQL Server versions. This book is revised to cover recent additions to SQL Server that include SQL graph and hybrid cloud support along with enhancements to in-memory online transaction processing, temporal data storage, row-level security, and other design-related features. This book’s goal is to help you in designing OLTP databases that are high-quality, protect the integrity of your data, and perform fast. Designing an effective and scalable database using SQL Server is a task requiring skills that have been around for well over forty years coupled with technology that is constantly changing. covers everything from design logic that business users will understand through to the physical implementation of design in a SQL Server database. Grounded in best practices and a solid understanding of the underlying theory, Louis Davidson shows how to "get it right" in SQL Server database design and lay a solid groundwork for the future use of valuable business data.What You Will LearnDevelop conceptual models of client data using interviews and client documentationImplement designs that work on premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid approachRecognize and apply common database design patternsNormalize data models to enhance scalability and the long-term use of valuable dataTranslate conceptual models into high–performing SQL Server databasesSecure and protect data integrity as part of meeting regulatory requirementsCreate effective indexing to speed query performanceUnderstand the concepts of concurrencyWho This Book Is ForProgrammers and database administrators of all types who want to use SQL Server to store transactional data.
