Hi experts, every now and then I give a 3-hour course where I explain DDL and DML in sql server, both GUI and t-sql.
My problem is, I always spend a lot of time installing sql in the other person’s laptop…
I know I could speed this up with a command line installation but I would prefer the “students” to install it, and most of them don’t know how to even open a command line.
Anyone came across this? I have 2 options, explain them how to open command line and provide the exact command; or do a detailed guide, screen by screen; problem is that this is usually for people with 0 experience, so even the default installation of a sql server is a complete puzzle for them (even with screenshots haha)….
Maybe I am asking for too much; but is there a pre-loaded .exe that would install just ssms, the engine and adventure works without any screens?
