Operations such as CREATE, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE for data management will also be examined in detail as we move along.

As we head towards the tail-end of the material, we will discuss the concepts pertaining to data optimisation and storing data properly. We will be taking a look at LOOKUP tables, user-defined functions IF statements and, finally, programming with dynamic SQL.
