Overview
This two-day instructor-led course provides database administrators working in enterprise
environments with the knowledge and skills to design a Microsoft SQL ServerT 2005 database infrastructure.
The course focuses on the development of strategies for data archiving, consolidation, distribution, and
recovery. The course also stresses the importance of capacity analysis and emphasizes the tradeoffs that
need to be made during design.
Prerequisites
Before attending this course, students must:
- Understand the tradeoffs among the different redundant storage types.
-
- Understand how replication works and how replication is implemented.
- Be familiar with reading user requirements and business-need documents.
- Have some knowledge of how queries execute. Must be able to read a query execution plan and
understand what is happening.
- Have basic knowledge of the dependencies between system components.
- Be able to design a database to third normal form (3NF) and know the tradeoffs when backing out
of the fully normalized design (denormalization) and designing for performance and business requirements
in addition to being familiar with design models, such as Star and Snowflake schemas.
- Have monitoring and troubleshooting skills.
- Have knowledge of the operating system and platform.
- Have knowledge of application architecture.
- Must already know how to use:
- A data modeling tool
- Microsoft Office Visio (to create infrastructure diagrams)
- Be familiar with SQL Server 2005 features, tools, and technologies.
- Have a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 credential or equivalent experience.
Course Outline
Module 1: Analyzing Capacity Needs
This module explains how to gather data about the current capacity of key system resources such as storage,
CPU, memory, and network bandwidth. It also explains how the resulting data can be used to estimate future capacity needs.
Lessons
- Estimating Storage Requirements
- Estimating CPU Requirements
- Estimating Memory Requirements
- Estimating Network Requirements
Module 2: Designing a Strategy for Data Archiving
This module explains how to identify the requirements that affect data archiving, determine the structure of archival data,
select an appropriate storage format, and develop a data movement strategy. It also describes the key elements
of a data archival plan and the process of creating it.
Lessons
- Identifying Requirements that Affect Data Archiving
- Determining the Structure of Archival Data
- Creating a Data Archival Plan
Module 3: Designing a Strategy for Database Server Consolidation
This module describes the benefits of consolidating database servers in various ways and explains how to use multiple SQL
Server instances to optimize the design of a database server infrastructure. It also details the
process of designing a database server consolidation plan.
Lessons
- Overview of Database Server Consolidation
- Designing a Strategy for SQL Server Instances
- Designing a Database Server Consolidation Plan
Module 4: Designing a Strategy for Data Distribution
This module describes the various tools that are provided by SQL Server 2005 for data distribution and explains how to
select an appropriate tool based on the requirements of an organization. It also details the
process of creating a data distribution plan specifically for replication.
Lessons
- Overview of Data Distribution
- Defending Your Data Distribution Strategy
|
Module 5: Designing a Database Server Infrastructure
This module explains how to evaluate the current database server infrastructure of an organization
and gather requirements for modifying it. It also provides guidelines and best practices for
designing modifications to the current infrastructure and describes the hardware and software
tradeoffs involved in the design process.
Lessons
- Evaluating the Current Database Server Infrastructure
- Gathering Requirements for Changing a Database Server Infrastructure
- Designing Modifications to a Database Server Infrastructure
Module 6: Designing a Strategy for Data Recovery
This module explains how to create a backup and recovery strategy. It also describes the key components
of a database disaster recovery plan and the process of creating it.
Lessons
- Creating a Backup and Restore Strategy
- Creating a Database Disaster Recovery Plan
Module 7: Establishing Database Conventions and Standards
This module describes how well a database naming convention simplifies administration, and provides
guidelines for establishing such a convention. It also explains how to define Transact-SQL
coding, database access, and deployment process standards.
Lessons
- Establishing Database Naming Conventions
- Defining Database Standards
