Database Fundamentals #12: Adding Data With SSMS GUI
In the previous Database Fundamentals, I argued that you should be learning T-SQL — yet the very next post I'm showing you how to use the GUI. What's up?
Why the GUI?It's a very simple reason. I want to show you what it is so that I'm not hiding things. However, showing it to you will quickly expose the weaknesses inherent in using the SSMS GUI for direct data manipulation. It's a poor choice. However, we'll understand how it works at the end of this post. I'll also cover it in other posts, showing how to UPDATE and DELETE data using the GUI. They will further illustrate the weaknesses. You will, however, know how it works.
