By the end of this course, learners will be able to manage semi-structured data using JSON, model complex relationships with graph databases, and apply advanced analytics by integrating R and Python within SQL Server. Learners will gain the ability to query, modify, and analyze diverse data formats directly inside the database environment.

This course is designed for database professionals and data practitioners who want to move beyond traditional relational querying and leverage advanced SQL Server capabilities. Through hands-on concepts, learners will understand how to store and manipulate JSON data, build and query graph databases for relationship-driven use cases, and execute R and Python scripts for analytics, data ingestion, and transformation. The course emphasizes practical application, enabling learners to process structured and unstructured data efficiently without moving data outside SQL Server. What makes this course unique is its unified approach to modern data handling within SQL Server—combining JSON, graph databases, R, and Python in a single advanced curriculum. By completing this course, learners will enhance their analytical skill set, improve data-driven decision-making, and be better prepared to handle real-world enterprise data challenges using SQL Server’s advanced features.
