When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

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.

Module details
