Since the release of the SQL server 1.0, the SQL server has kept evolving. While its core function is its relational database management system, the SQL server has become far more than that. This ‘Exploring SQL Server 2016 intermediate course’ has been specially prepared to take you through various new features and enhancements to the data platform. These include delivery breakthrough performance, advanced and richer security, integrated reporting and analytics capabilities. Understanding these features and using each to suit your desired outcomes is essential. This course will introduce you to row-level security and its functionalities. You will learn how to filter and block the data access and the restrictions of the row-level security. Analyse the dynamic masking function and illustrate how to define ‘data masking’ within the structure of a table to protect data from unauthorised access.
