Module 8: Evaluating Advanced Query and XML Techniques
This module teaches students how to evaluate queries using
the advanced query and XML techniques, which students might
require when designing a SQL Server 2005 solution. Query tasks
include evaluating common table expressions, pivot queries,
and ranking techniques. XML tasks include defining standards
for storing XML data, evaluating the use of XQuery, and creating
a strategy for converting data between XML and relational
formats.
