Structured Query Language for Sybase iAnywhere 11 for OTS Products

Many customers have used SQL (Structued Query Language) to make modifications to their MET/TRACK database. Even though SQL is very powerful, it can also cause problems if you are not aware of the proper usage of these commands. Three of the most popular On Time Support products, Barcode Magician, E-Mail Notification, and Metrology Xplorer (1&2), utilize SQL scripts as a fast and easy way to obtain data. All that is required is to understand the rules. Also, we want to make sure that the integrity of the Fluke MET/TRACK database is maintained by not making database changes that would impact the Fluke MET/CAL and MET/TRACK applications.

 This is a two day class, with three additional days dedicated to product training and using SQL with the OTS products. You must take the first two days before you take any additional days. There are no exceptions. The following is the schedule and itinerary.
