1- Build your own lab - a.k.a. install SQL Server Developer Edition on a home computer.

2- Install an example database like Northwind

3- Read about architecture first then about the product you want to tackle on Books On Line.

4- Practice... test... practice... test

5- Read the questions people ask in this forum, research and try to answer them by yourself then compare answer with what senior people are saying.

good luck!

I guess the main strating point as per previous reply is:

1- Build your own lab - a.k.a. install SQL Server Developer Edition on a home computer.

... or your work PC

Then you can test straight away what you read in the book...

Books On Line is installed alongside SQL Server so just go Start => All Programs => SQL Server => Books On Line

Two ways to use it.

1- As a book. Please read about SQL Server architecture.

2- As a reference manual. When you have a doubt about something in particular, search for it.

You have to learn the fundamentals of SQL before you can move on to BI. So keep following your book, BOL, or get a Beginner's Guide to SQL or something... Once you have a grasp on SQL, you can move into the BI stuff. For a complete beginner, I actually like the "for Dummie's" or SAMS Teach Yourself books. They will not teach you advanced techniques or anything, but since you don't do this everyday at work you need to get your feet wet and start playing. When you feel you can move into more advanced techniques, or if you just want to jump in at that point, I like the WROX books.

After you have a good grasp on T-SQL itself, I would concentrate on the BI areas 1 by 1. Don't take on all of them at once or you will fail. Also, become an expert in one, then move to the others. I would start in this order because using 1 will help to learn the next:

1. SSRS

2. SSIS

3. SSAS

That's great explanation..thank you dear

Now i'm fine with my doubt it's was gone..!:-)

can i start like this SSIS

SSRS

SSAS

because i have bit knowledge about SSIS. moving data from one place to another place and i tried some tools like 'for each loop containers'..etc these things make me crazy about learning BI.

Absolutely! It was just a suggestion based on my experience. Since you have experience in SSIS, I would start there. SSAS should definitely be the last piece because it is completely different from SQL in terms of its syntax and the way you think about its structure. SSRS should be a breeze once you get SSIS.

I actually printed out the Microsoft Tutorials found here and used these as a book. This is a great place to get all the beginner's knowledge you need. The Itzik Ben Gan book I always thought was for a bit more advanced developers. I could be wrong, but I think the MS tutorials (part of BOL) is great.

I don't know this thing i'm just trying to finish that book in couple of days....so what would you suggest me can i stop it and move to BOL..???

Jared SSC Guru Points: 61793 More actions · Answer 12

I would go to the BOL tutorials. Even if some of it is review, I always relearn something. Then after that you can go to the Itzik Ben Gan book and you will probably understand it much better.
