Presentation topic and abstract for this meeting:

What’s new with SQL Server 2017 and Azure SQL DB

SQL Server 2017 has been out for a little while already, but we could all use a quick refresher on what was new, right? We will cover a few of the high points and then jump into how SQL Server can be used in Azure PasS services – Single, Pools and the newly released Managed Instance. Come join this interactive session and learn more about SQL on-prem and in Azure!
