and expertise.
The following table describes exam requirements.
Certification Exam requirements

MCSE + Internet Pass seven core exams and two elective exams.
MCSE Pass four operating system exams and two elective exams.
MCSD Pass three core technology exams and one elective exam.
MCP + Site Building Pass two core technology exams.
MCP + Internet Pass three core exams.
MCP Pass one exam (except Networking Essentials).
MCT Required to meet instructional and technical requirements
specific to each Microsoft Official Curriculum course they
are certified to deliver.

You can also send e-mail to if you have specific
certification questions.

Exam Preparation Guides
To help prepare for the MCP exams, you can use the preparation guides that are
available for each exam. Each Exam Preparation Guide contains exam-specific
information, such as a list of the topics on which you will be tested and
information about credit toward certification. These guides are available on the
Training and Certification Web site, located at the following address:


Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) helps you to prepare for
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) exams. However, no one-to-one
correlation exists between MOC courses and MCP exams.

SQL Server is a client/server relational database management system (RDBMS)
that uses Transact-SQL to send requests between a client and SQL Server.
Client/Server Architecture

SQL Server uses client/server architecture to separate the workload into tasks
that run on server computers and those that run on client computers:
?? The client is responsible for business logic and presenting data to the user.
The client typically runs on one or more client computers, but it also can run
on the server computer with SQL Server.
?? SQL Server manages databases and allocates the available server
resources—such as memory, network bandwidth, and disk operations—
among multiple requests.

Client/server architecture allows you to design and deploy applications to
enhance a variety of environments. Client programming interfaces provide the
means for applications to run on separate client computers and communicate to
the server over a network.

In this course, the term client by itself refers to a client application.

Relational Database Management System
The RDBMS is responsible for:?
?? Maintaining the relationships between data in the database.
?? Ensuring that data is stored correctly—that the rules defining the
relationships between data are not violated.
?? Recovering all data to a point of known consistency in the event of a
system failure.

Slide Objective
To introduce SQL Server.
Lead-in
SQL Server is a
client/server relational
database management

system that uses
Transact-SQL, a
Structured Query Language,
to send requests between
the client and SQL Server.
Note
Compare the
personal computer and
mainframe definitions of
relational database.

Point out that
SQL Server follows the
mainframe definition.
Module 1: SQL Server Overview 15



Transact-SQL
SQL Server uses Transact-SQL, a version of Structured Query Language
(SQL), as its database query and programming language. SQL is a set of
commands that allows you to specify the information that you want to retrieve
or modify. With Transact-SQL, you can access data and query, update, and
manage relational database systems.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International
Standards Organization (ISO) have defined standards for SQL. Transact-SQL
supports the latest ANSI SQL standard published in 1992, called ANSI
SQL-92, plus many extensions to provide increased functionality.
