I'm trying to update my resume with the sql server tasks I've been doing for the last 2+ yrs, but I'm really stuck on what exactly to put and how to word it.

Quick background: I've heavily programmed in and used MS Access since 1994. In many cases, I did the db design, creation, and upgrades for all tables, queries, forms, and reports. I often created the app that other people use. It took me a while to find a job where I could learn and use SQL Server. I finally found that about 2.5 years ago (there's a lot of Access programming using a tool already created at my company, with a SQL Server backend).

Could really use some input!


I'm really not performing SQL Server DBA work; the majority of the tasks I tend to perform are:
- writing and running simple select queries

- writing and running complex queries (several inner and/or left joins) to select, append (insert into), update, or create a new table from a data set using particular criteria

- processing/manipulating large data sets (1 million + records) to drill down to a smaller set that can be handled by the Access app

- incorporating CASE statements into the queries

- importing a table into SQL Server from text files, spreadsheets, or Access tables, using the Import/Export tool (a task I do only very occasionally)

Any suggestions on how I can word this in the resume?

Oh, and I can tell you as an experienced Access programmer (who started from v2, where you had to really understand Access and database concepts and normalization, no cute little wizards to help) that SQL Server really ROCKS and I prefer it. Now, to be able to use it more...
