Overview/Description
The relational database, such as SQL Server 2012, has been around for decades going back to E.F. Codd and his designs. Since then, many applications have been built upon this concept. In 1999, the internet was gaining momentum. Around the same time, a new hierarchica l concept for storing data was introduced: extensible markup language or XML. As the internet gained more prominence to its current ubiquitous standing, XML took on increasing significance for moving data around. Subsequently, it became equally important for relational and hierarchical data to be somewhat interchangeable between online data-based applications and services. This course introduces XML in relation to SQL Server and how to work with XML data in SQL Server 2012. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Exam 70-464: Developing Microsoft SQL Server Databases. This series may also cover SQL Server 2014 features and functionalities as required by the exam objectives. This exam is one of the requirements for the MCSE: Data Platform certification path.
