I have a 2 page description of Working With Sql Server attached (about 380 words).
Could you please do some sanity check on its content to comment as to how I could improve it.
Note: This is bird-eye view and introductory to SQL Serever prepared for person with little programming skills and interest in the subject. WorkingWithSqlServer2.docx

re:> your security section still not right
I may have many things wrong. What will be helpful is take a sentence or two and write it they way it is right. By just saying it is not right, is not helpful at all.
re:> The analogy with a restaurant still not good.
I intend to keep this analogy but modify it in such a manner that makes sense. You are welcome to help me on that if you can come up with a better way of saying it. Or, make a better analogy.
re:> The authentication methods are two only
Yes, my bad. They are:
1. Windows level. <-- authentication
2. Sever Level. <-- authentication
3. Database Level. <-- what you will name this? permission? privilege?
What is the a common word (or category) for all three?
re:> definition of a Database Management System?
What about it. What is that you want me focus about this? Do you have a particular point you want me to focus on it?
re:> followed by the definitions of Instance, Database, Login, User and Schema.
The same as above.
re:> when you have these concepts in your mind
I think I have them in my mind hence this write-up. I probably miss some crucial aspects of them but you never give a clue in your post. I just wonder what exactly you mean. It will be helpful to give me something to go by.
I know that is not probably your style, but you are not telling me what is the problem just hinting there is problem.
Who are the users for this writing are:
- Myself to make sure I understand it. <<< mainly this
- My college kid and friends.
- Number of my ex-project managers (now friends) who could really use some knowledge about SQL Server.
- All above who also need to use some basic T-SQL.
