Relational Database Concepts
This is the first in a series of articles describing the use of Microsoft's SQL Server database management system (DBMS). The tutorial is aimed at software developers using SQL Server for data storage. Part one reviews database concepts and terminology.

SQL Server Programming Tutorial Database
The second part of the SQL Server Programming Fundamentals tutorial describes the database that will be created throughout the rest of the tutorial. In each instalment, this database will be improved or used to demonstrate SQL Server development.

Creating SQL Server Databases Part 1
The third part of the SQL Server Programming Fundamentals tutorial investigates the creation of new databases. This first task in any new database project requires the careful consideration of several key configuration options.

Creating SQL Server Databases Part 2
The fourth part of the SQL Server Programming Fundamentals tutorial continues the consideration of database creation in SQL Server. In this article we will investigate how to create new databases using Transact-SQL query language commands.

Creating SQL Server Tables Part 1
The fifth part of the SQL Server Programming Fundamentals tutorial looks at the creation of tables within a SQL Server database. Tables provide structured storage locations for all of the information stored within a relational database.

Creating SQL Server Tables Part 2
The sixth part of the SQL Server Programming Fundamentals tutorial returns to the subject of creating SQL Server database tables. In this article we will use Transact-SQL commands to create the remainder of the tables for the JoBS tutorial database.

Basic SQL Server Data Manipulation
The seventh part of the SQL Server Programming Fundamentals tutorial uses the tutorial database created in the previous articles to take a first look at data manipulation. In this article we will create, update and delete information in SQL Server tables.

Basic T-SQL Queries
The eighth part of the SQL Server Programming Fundamentals tutorial describes the use of the SELECT statement of the structured query language. This command allows the creation of database queries that return table rows that meet specified criteria.

Modifying SQL Server Tables
The ninth part of the SQL Server Programming Fundamentals tutorial describes how database tables can be changed using T-SQL. In this article we will add, remove and modify columns, whilst considering the impact these operations can have on existing data.

SQL Server Primary Keys
The tenth part of the SQL Server Programming Fundamentals tutorial explains the use and creation of primary keys. A primary key is a column, or group of columns, within a database table that provides a unique reference for each row added to that table.
