Hey now, just 'cuz we unlucky Cloud users can’t utilize these SQL tricks doesn’t mean it isn’t good for us to know!

If you have a beefy enough computer, install Hyper-V on Win10 or 11 then install Windows Server 2019 and SQL Server 2019 and have fun! Get the 180 day trials from Microsoft:

SQL Server Downloads | Microsoft
Windows Server 2019 | Microsoft Evaluation Center

I was talking about sql server in the cloud as in utilizing azure to complete this course instead of using local resources.

A VM running SQL where you have direct access to SQL/SSMS should work fine. When I see “Cloud” here I think hosted cloud where the user doesn’t have direct access to SQL.

$ure, you could! You’d want a VM and then install SQL Server on it vs Azure SQL, which I think is a different class for Brent.

Also the 50GB Stackoverflow database Mr Ozar mentioned will be used: https://downloads.brentozar.com/StackOverflow2013_201809117.7z

I was just being an :peach:. Of course cloud users could benefit. Most companies are hybrid and will have some SQL on prem. Also, this may help us build better queries knowing the index structure of Epicor.
