I have been working with SMSS for almost 20 years, but I didn't know some of these features. This was great! thank you Joey.

Fantastic coverage! As someone new to SSMS, this was a great walkthrough, and I'll be watching it again and using it as a desk reference (the timestamps are so helpful!!) You speak well, are concise, and cover the material without getting sidetracked. This felt as polished and meaningful as a class in a tech college course. Cheers!

Oh my God, is this a video about SSMS that's not just a misnamed tutorial on SQL basics? Now that's a rare gem. Thanks for the video!

This is what I call a perfect tutorial, in all aspects. Take it from one who has been coding since 1977 (no misprint) and who also is a trainer. Thank you Joey. I just subscribed to your channel.

Dear Joey, thanks for taking the time to walk us through SSMS so extensively. I'm all new to it, so find this really really helpful!

Best training video I've ever seen - I needed an introduction to SQL and this filled in the blanks for me and more. Thanks for creating this. (This is the first comment I've ever left on RU-vid - fantastic content).

I'm beginner to SSMS. It is an excellent training video about SSMS. I learned lots of useful tricks. Keep it up, Mr. Joey.

This is a great course featuring the basic things which help us navigate through the tool comfortably. Hard to find such quality content and heartfully thank Joey Blue for this.

I wamted to express my admiration for the valuable content you have been creating on RU-vid. As someone who is passionate about SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos on the topic. I have found your videos to be insightful, informative, and easy to follow. Your ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner is truly commendable. Your enthusiasm for the subject matter is infectious, and it has certainly helped me to develop a deeper understanding of SSMS. I am particularly impressed by the way you have been able to cover a wide range of topics related to SSMS. Your videos have helped me to learn everything from the basics of creating tables and queries to more advanced topics such as using SQL Profiler and tuning queries for better performance. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your hard work and dedication to producing high-quality content. Your videos have been an invaluable resource for me and many others who are interested in learning more about SSMS. I am eagerly looking forward to your future videos and the knowledge they will impart. Once again, thank you for all that you do. Your dedication to educating and informing others is truly appreciated.

Super useful! Concise, thorough go through of SSMS features. Just what I am looking for! Thanks.

This video is worth thousands of likes and millions of views!

Thank you for this tutorial, Joey. Very complete and beginner friendly!

Excellent tutorial. I'm new to SQL and have been struggling with finding what I need in SMSS. I feel like I know so much more now which will save a lot of time and frustration. Thank you for taking the time to record this tutorial.

good tips, been using ssms for 2 years but still learn a lot because I previously did not really care about those strange buttons and options haha.

Thanks so much for this, it is exactly what I was looking for. I've learned SQL through datacamp, but it was so difficult finding content to actually explain the UI and what all the buttons and tools are. I feel much more confident now, in only a couple hours of watching this and playing around accordingly.

Great video - very engaging. Really like the way you point out less obvious attributes like highlighting 1 or multiple queries, row counts, F key quick functions and more. The pace through the tutorial is on point, and you re-cap as you go. Excellent tutorial, I will recommend this to my work colleagues in the government department i work, here in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Nga mihi nui. (also my first comment left on RU-vid - such an informative video, had to login in and leave a comment - kia ora - thanks).

Thanks so much Joey Blue, you are such a great teacher. Full of details explanation.

Thanks Joey, I just did not sleep once I started. Excellent content

Thanks, mate! This is THE MOST detailed and simply explained tutorial! I was angry that I couldn't find anything explanotary enough to understand how SQL works auntil I came across your video! hanks soooooo mcuh! I gotta shre the link with my friend. Cheers!

Hello, while trying to connect with Analysis Services *as in **4:21* there is a blank server name and nothing to chose from. While typing same name as in Database engine - there is an error popup "A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)". Any idea how to fix the issue?

Thank you so much for this content man. I really and truthfully apprciate it.

Sir please upload MSBI course . Your way of explanation was good and thank you for upload useful video's

Thanks a lot for this course! Found it super useful and easy to follow!

Excellent video. Thank you.

Some notes: 1. DW = data warehouse (a different type of database schema (dimensions and fact tables) used for effective reporting and predefined querying 2. When you drag a database object from the Object Explorer to Query Window, it is in brackets [ ]. That's to allow database object names colliding wth SQL keywords such as column name SELECT etc. 3. Refresh Local Cache is useful for scenario when you create or alter a table and SQL Server Management Studio then doesn't recognize these changes in editor, so that makes it recognize them.

Very good content. Much of it was review for me but also learn several very useful tricks. Spoken section titles would be useful to allow audio-only browsing of the content.

Super good tutorial, thanks for sharing.

very knowledgeable session thanks .

Great and fantastic job done here! especially the timestamps...very useful !

Thaaanks, very usefull tutorial, you've helped me a lot !!!

Awesome and concise!

When I'm looking to understand SQL better Joey is where I go.

I did try install for one day on my i5 16G ram laptop. Then try to remove SSMS more than 1 days (loading package never stop). I see there are much trouble with this official software. Its too slowly, heavy and inconsistence. The software may have very big trouble issue, do not show log to End User for ending the process. This design is really get losing time waiting. Why so millions silly Dev accept that. thanks much God have basically improvement or changing the design.

Thanks a Million, the tutorial was very helpful Joey :)

Great Video! Thanks

Excellent video! Thanks a lot.

Great video, really helpful! Does anyone knows a well structured Book or website about SSMS? I know "Learning SQL" from Alan Beaulieu but this one utilizes MySQL... Thank you very much!

I changed the video playback speed to x2 and enjoyed it haha
