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 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:
In this session we will present the union of the local environment and the cloud and show the integration between these environments. The cloud is already a reality and we still have several environments that must remain in local environments due to legislation or company rules. In this session you will see that it is possible to maintain both environments.
Speaker(s): Marcelo Fernandes,
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.

Session subject is bulk load and minimal logging. I will show you on various demos how bulk load and minimal logging behieves on heap and cluster tables, in-memory tables, clustered and non-clustered columnstore tables and on all combinations as well.
Speaker(s): Dean Savović,
Abstract:
Query optimizer is a magical piece of architecture inside SQL Server which instructs the engine how your query is going to be executed. It performs a great job …unless it doesn’t. In this session we will have a deep look on cases where the query optimizer fails and explain why is it happening. Expect to see a real code written by real developers which will be tuned just in front of you to perform several times faster. If you want to (or possibly need to) take control of execution plan, this session is right for you!
Speaker(s): Pavel Malek,
Abstract:
This session will help you make your first successful experiment with Azure Machine Learning, where we will explore the workflow of creating an experiment, from the initial idea to the final solution. This session will include a lot of demonstrations to show you, how you can start using this amazing technology for your applications.
Speaker(s): Marek Chmel,
Abstract:
In this session, you will be advised how to avoid common developer mistakes when working with SQL Server. You will see common mistakes made by developers during table design, writing queries and script deployment.
Speaker(s): Miloš Radivojević,
Abstract:
For several years you have been working as a database administrator with few Microsoft SQL Server instances and you have moved to a new project where there is a need to consolidate hundreds of instances. How to tackle this problem? On the session, I will show how to discover, check configuration, apply all best practices and introduce best in class maintenance tasks. And all of that using free community-based tools!
Speaker(s): Michal Sadowski,
Abstract:
An application that you administer stores sensitive data in the database and you would like to keep them safe in Microsoft SQL Server - how to approach this issue? What type of encryption should you use in your environment? On the session I will walk through available options in Microsoft SQL Server and show when to use encryption, how to identify threats, and countermeasure them by using options like Transparent Data Encryption, SSL certificates, Always Encrypted, etc. After this session, you will know a set of best practices that you can apply in your environment.
Speaker(s): Michal Sadowski,
Abstract:
Even though the Cloud is becoming more popular every day, most companies still want to host their Data Platform on-premises. However, the Cloud also offers huge potential in this area and technologies and tools - some of them only exist in the Cloud at all! This session focuses purely on Microsoft Azure and the services it provides to build a scalable, powerful and yet low-cost Analytics Platform in the Cloud. Based on a real-world scenario I will show how these components play together and how on-premises data and can be integrated into this pure Cloud system.
