This document outlines the agenda for an Advanced TSQL training course. It covers enhancing data manipulation language functionality with output clauses and merge statements, managing transactions both implicitly and explicitly, exception handling with try/catch blocks, and extending SQL Server functionality with common table expressions, XML, CLR, FileStream, spatial data, full text search, and service broker. Additional topics include apply operators, pivoting and unpivoting data, and ranking functions.

1. Advanced TSQL
SQL Server 2008

2. Agenda
Enhancing DML Functionality
Output Clause
Merge Statement
Managing Transactions
Implicit Transaction
Explicit Transaction
Exception Handling
Try…Catch

3. Agenda
Extending SQL Server Functionality
CTE
XML
CLR
FileStream
Spatial
Full Text Search
Service Broker

4. Agenda
Apply Operator
Cross Apply
Outer Apply
Pivoting Data
PIVOT
UNPIVOT
Ranking Functions
ROW_NUMBER
RANK
DENSE_RANK
NTILE

5. Output Clause
Provides ability to access INSERTED and DELETED tables
during DML statement execution as we can access in
Triggers.

6. Output Example

7. Merge Statement
Provides you the ability to compare rows between source
and target tables, and then performs DML action accordingly
only on target Table.

8. Merge Example

9. Managing Transaction
Implicit Transaction
Setting mode for implicit transaction
 Manual Commit – Set Implicit_Transactions OFF
 Auto commit – Set Implicit_Transactions ON
Explicit Transaction
Begin Transaction [Trans Name]
Commit Transaction [Trans Name]
Rollback Transaction [Trans Name]
Savepoint – Save Transaction [Savepoint name]

10. Exception Handling (Try..Catch)
Captures Error severity higher that 10
Try…Catch TSQL
Begin Try
[SQL Statements]
End Try
Begin Catch
[SQL Statements]
End Catch

11. Retrieving Error Information
 ERROR_NUMBER() returns the number of the error.
 ERROR_SEVERITY() returns the severity.
 ERROR_STATE() returns the error state number.
 ERROR_PROCEDURE() returns the name of the stored procedure or trigger where the error occurred.
 ERROR_LINE() returns the line number inside the routine that caused the error.
 ERROR_MESSAGE() returns the complete text of the error message. The text includes the values
supplied for any substitutable parameters, such as lengths, object names, or times.

12. Exception Handling

13. CTE
 Like derived tables
 Iterates results sets
 Recursive
 CTE Parts
 With Clause
 CTE Name
 Column Names
 AS keyword
 Anchor Query
 Union All
 Second Query
 Outer Query

14. CTE
;
WITH cte(col1,col2..)
AS
(Anchor_Query
Union All
Second_Query)
Outer_Query;

15. PIVOTING DATA
Moving rows for a column as columns for aggregate
values, reversing that combination as well through
unpivot
Parts
Source Table
PIVOT/UNPIVOT Operator
Aggregation
Filter Clause (FOR)
Pivot Table

16. Pivot Syntax
From
(Subquery) AS Source_Table
PIVOT (
Aggregate_Function(Column_ST)
FOR Column_ST IN (Values in Column_ST)
) AS Pivot_Table

17. Apply Operator
Outer Apply
Cross Apply
