Here's a taste of some of the projects: * How to build an e-commerce site with Site Server Commerce Edition * Implementing a data-driven Intranet with SQL Server and IIS * Creating both single-source and multisource data marts * Working with OLAP Services and a variety of OLAP clients * Writing Visual Basic applications that work with SQL Server Plus two CD-Roms! * CD-ROM 1 contains Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 120-Day Evaluation Edition * CD-ROM 2 contains all the code from the book, example applications, 18 third party Development tools, and links to related Web sites
Transact-SQL is a procedural language used on both Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase SQL Server systems. It is a full-featured programming language that dramatically extends the power of SQL (Structured Query Language).The language provides programmers with a broad range of features, including: A rich set of datatypes, including specialized types for identifiers, timestamps, images, and long text fieldsLocal and global variablesFully programmable server objects like views, triggers, stored procedures, and batch command filesConditional processingException and error handlingFull transaction controlSystem stored procedures that reduce the complexity of many operations, like adding users or automatically generating HTML Web pagesIn recent years, the versions of Transact-SQL have diverged on Microsoft and Sybase systems; the book explains the differences. It also contains up-to-the-minute information on the latest versions: Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.5 and 7.0 and Sybase version 11.5.A brief table of contents follows: PART I: The Basics: Programming in Transact-SQL1.

In this project, we provide you with a SQL SERVER version of an Oracle sample database named OT which is based on a global fictitious company that sells computer hardware including storage, motherboard, RAM, video card, and CPU. The company maintains the product information such as name, description standard cost, list price, and product line. It also tracks the inventory information for all products including warehouses where products are available. Because the company operates globally, it has warehouses in various locations around the world. The company records all customer information including name, address, and website. Each customer has at least one contact person with detailed information including name, email, and phone. The company also places a credit limit on each customer to limit the amount that customer can owe. Whenever a customer issues a purchase order, a sales order is created in the database with the pending status. When the company ships the order, the order status becomes shipped. In case the customer cancels an order, the order status becomes canceled. In addition to the sales information, the employee data is recorded with some basic information such as name, email, phone, job title, manager, and hire date. In this project, you will write Python script to create every table and insert rows of data into each of them. You will develop GUI with PyQt5 to each table in the database. You will also create GUI to plot: case distribution of order date by year, quarter, month, week, and day; the distribution of amount by year, quarter, month, week, day, and hour; the distribution of bottom 10 sales by product, top 10 sales by product, bottom 10 sales by customer, top 10 sales by customer, bottom 10 sales by category, top 10 sales by category, bottom 10 sales by status, top 10 sales by status, bottom 10 sales by customer city, top 10 sales by customer city, bottom 10 sales by customer state, top 10 sales by customer state, average amount by month with mean and EWM, average amount by every month, amount feature over June 2016, amount feature over 2017, and amount payment in all years.
