Abstract:
Autonomous means capable of existing independently. Think maintenance free, self-healing, auto-tuning databases able to detect and automatically mitigate security risks. Sounds like impossible dream, but here is the best part - Azure is gradually making that next level of automation possible. Cloud economy of scale combined with unique features of Azure Sql PaaS resources transform and enhance the way we collect, store and process data. And that also affects our professional lives. Find out where we are on The Road to The Autonomous Databases, what are main building blocks, what kind of obstacles we still have to overcome and how to turn these challenges into opportunities.
Speaker(s): Janusz Rokicki,
Abstract:
Starting from the very beginning, in this session we will cross together the main features Power BI has to offer, starting with the powerful self-service ETL using M language when needed, modeling our tables and finally using powerful features to create a great data visualization, allowing you to better understand all the power and flexibility of this tool and how it will fit into your solution
Speaker(s): Dennes Torres,
Abstract:
Ever since Azure SQL Database was released way back in 2010, if you wanted to get SQL Server as cloud managed database service, you had to accept some compromises. SQL Server's cloud-born cousin came with missing features and different ways of doing things, some of them better, others just different, and still others came with specific caveats. But now, with the introduction of Managed Instance, we might have finally found our database holy grail: full-on SQL Server, as a service, with none of the management headaches. Could it really be that simple? Come to this session and find out.
Speaker(s): Sorin Peste,
Abstract:
Learn how to leverage the latest SQL and .Net Core offerings to develop and deploy low-cost (including potentially license free), effective back-end application services on contemporary Linux platforms. This session will provide an overview of challenges and opportunities, notably including: - migrating existing SQL databases to Linux platforms - working with Entity Framework (EF) Core - simplified webAPI development on .Net Core with EF Core and SQL
Speaker(s): Peter Willmot,
Abstract:
The Geospatial and Hierarchical managed data types were introduced with SQL 2005 but are sadly seldom used (or understood) by most developers more than a decade later. In this session Peter Willmot will take you on a guided tour of these data types and help you to understand the pros and cons of their inclusion in your database/application design.
Speaker(s): Peter Willmot,
Abstract:
If you are reading Azure IoT documentation you will stumble a lot on the “SQL-like query language” or “SQL-like language” syntagms. In this presentation we will explore Azure IoT places where queries are used and see how to use them. And in the process to find out more about this “SQL-like” languages and how being a DB developer cam make you a IoT hero. We will concentrate on the scenarios with the greatest impact, where a little SQL can solve you a lot of hassle. So, we will leave no SQL query unturned in Azure IoT Hub, Stream Analytics, Power Bi to name a few.
Speaker(s): Catalin Gheorghiu,
Abstract:
We will discuss the features under devopment in the upcoming release of SQL Server
Speaker(s): Alexandra Ciortea,
Abstract:
As a student, how can SQL Server help with university projects or personal tech hobbies? In the session we will talk about how SQL Server can help you learn, integrate it in your university projects, and many more.
Speaker(s): Ozana Buse,
Abstract:
In this session the SMB 3.0 protocol will be presented and how we can take advantages and increase the availability and performance of the environment by investing less in infrastructure.
Speaker(s): Marcelo Fernandes,
Abstract:
Power BI is a very powerful tool. But behind the shiny UI, Power BI REST API gives you even more features to create better solutions! In this session we will explore what you can do using Power BI REST API and what you can’t (at least not yet!). I will demonstrate how your program can authenticate itself (both in interactive and non-interactive way), how it can add new rows to a dataset or refresh it programmatically, and how to share one dataset between multiple reports.
Speaker(s): Andrey Nikolov,
Abstract:
Considering a SQL Server upgrade or migration? You’ll have to eventually. In the session, we will try to present you some best practices regarding the SQL Server version upgrade and the roadblocks that you might hit along the road.
Speaker(s): Alexandru Dinica,
Abstract:
Discover and learn how to approach a performance problem. What information should I collect? What data should I gather? How to best approach the data analysis. Tips and tricks.
Speaker(s): Liviu Ieran,
Abstract:
Behind the data, behind the numbers, there is a hidden story and sometimes more. Our job is to discover the story and make it accessible to others.
Speaker(s): Cristian Lefter,
Abstract:
How does your SQL Server environment meet the RPO and RTO service levels? In this session, we will cover all aspects of HA / DR. We will cover all technology options and compare the benefits between them. We will also talk about processes to maintain your RPO and RTO level.
