Some of them also allowed for a search by dates. Searching the full text, however, was not as common in the past. Now more of that is seen because end users of databases and search engines are demanding more usability - and user-friendliness - in their technology options. When end users start requiring something it becomes necessary for companies that provide and manage databases to try to provide it. If they do not do so, the users may turn to the database-makers' competition in order to get what they want and need, which is obviously detrimental to the database creators who are not providing new and convenient and innovative options. Full-text searching is one of those options, and the tutorial shows how to set the SQL Server database up for that ability so that users of it can more easily find what they need. For actually maintaining and managing the SQL Server database, a person needs some special skills as well. Databases are always changing. People add to them, take things away, and make other changes as they see fit and as they become necessary. With that being the case, anyone who creates and works with the SQL Server database must be prepared to continue to manage that database - or train someone else to take care of it instead. Either way, the tutorial is very valuable for anyone who will be managing this type of database, whether they created it or not.

Specifically, this tutorial...

It is designed to make sure that it is easily understood, even if the person reading it and viewing it is not that computer savvy or does not know much about databases. Because the tutorial moves logically through what needs to be done and addressed, and because it makes things clear and explains them well, it would be very worthwhile for anyone who will be working with this type of SQL Server database. Whether someone is creating a database for the first time or just learning how to use an existing one, there is good information to be found in the tutorial. The way that it is set up means that a person does not have to watch it all the way from the beginning.
It can be watched from the beginning of any of the lessons, depending on which one a person needs at that time and thinks will be most valuable. There are a lot of people who are familiar with SQL Server database basics, and they do not need to view the first few tutorials because they already know everything listed in them. For these people, the later tutorials might be a better choice. Some people, though, will be completely new to the databases, and they will need to watch the very first tutorial, maybe more than once, until they get comfortable with it. Either way, there is something for everyone interested in databases.
