<p>Designing an effective and scalable database using SQL Server is a task requiring skills that have been around for forty years coupled with technology that is constantly changing. <strong>Pro SQL Server Relational Database Design</strong> and Implementation covers everything from design logic that business users will understand, all the way 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.</p>
<p>The pace of change in relational database management systems has been tremendous these past few years. Whereas in the past it was enough to think about optimizing data residing on spinning hard drives, today one also must consider solid-state storage as well as data that are constantly held in memory and never written to disk at all except as a backup. Furthermore, there is a trend toward hybrid cloud and on-premise database configurations as well a move toward preconfigured appliances. <strong>Pro SQL Server Relational Database Design and Implementation</strong> guides in the understanding of these massive changes and in their application toward sound database design.</p>

Pro SQL Server Relational Database Design and Implementation: Best Practices for Scalability and Performance

<p>Use the graph table features in Azure SQL that were introduced in SQL Server 2017 and further refined in SQL Server 2019. This book shows you how to create data structures to capture complex connections between items in your data. These connections will help you analyze and draw insights from connections in your data that go beyond classic relationships.\nThe graph examples in the book are useful for analyzing social media relationships, complex product-to-customer relationships, and any other type of data analysis in which indirect connections that otherwise might be missed using conventional techniques can be mined for their insight and business value.\nTree structures are covered, with emphasis on a structure commonly used by organizations to aggregate data at different levels of an organization. The book provides code examples of SQL Graph objects as well as an alternate tree implementation technique. Included is sample data (and data generators) for you to test for performance and choose the implementation approach that best suits your needs and that of your application.\nIf your job involves analyzing or storage of data elements that are connected in a networked topology, then this is the book that will help you bring the power of SQL Server to bear on that data and take advantage of your existing knowledge.<br />
What You Will Learn Understand the graph model and the associated terms used in graph analysis<br />
Store highly connected data in SQL Server and Azure SQL alongside existing relational data Make full use of the graph table feature that is refined and enhanced in SQL Server 2019 Implement high performance tree structures that will make storing and querying tree data possible Report on data associated with a tree structure to aggregate results at different levels\nWho This Book Is For</p>
