Kevin Feasel- Data Virtualization in SQL Server

IN PERSON MEETING!!!!!
SQL Server's data virtualization stack has evolved throughout the past decade, allowing you to integrate SQL Server with a variety of external systems, such as Oracle, MongoDB, Cosmos DB, Azure Blob Storage, and AWS S3. In this talk, we will briefly cover the history of data virtualization in SQL Server and focus on how we can write T-SQL queries to access data from heterogeneous sources, both in SQL Server 2025 and in prior versions. Finally, we will look at several interesting use cases for data virtualization in the modern data environment.
