Formally, a data manipulation language (DML) deals with the manipulation of data present in a relational database. English, please? Simply put, DML commands empower you to control the information inside your database. This online course covers the MS SQL Server DML and is a great starting point for SQL beginners and aspiring database administrators (DBAs).

If you think SQL ends with SELECT statements, you’re wrong. You can go beyond simple queries and take your skills to a whole new level by exploring the SQL Server DML.

Ever heard of CRUD? That’s an acronym for the most important part of DML operations. This course explains the meaning of CRUD and helps you become a proficient database user.

Do you know that INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands also work with DEFAULT? In this course, you’ll learn how modify data using default values of columns. These statements also deal with auto-filling values. Thus, you’ll also gain valuable skills in using IDENTITY, SEQUENCE, and the NEWID() function for auto-generated values and learn how use them with INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.
