Sql server® 2012 t-sql fundamentals

1. Obtain SQL Server

As I mentioned, you can use any edition of SQL Server 2012 except SQL Server Compact to practice 

the materials in this book. If you have a subscription to the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN), 

you can use the SQL Server 2012 Developer for learning purposes. You can download it from http://

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/default.aspx. Otherwise, you can use the free trial software of SQL 

Server 2012, which you can download from http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/get-sql-server 

/try-it.aspx. In this appendix, I demonstrate the installation of the SQL Server 2012 Enterprise evalua-

tion edition.
