Title: SQL in the Fabric Era: Practical Techniques for Modern Data Integration

Abstract:
SQL pros, meet Fabric! This session shares hands-on examples of SQL database in Fabric in action with analytics, governance, and Power BI integration included.

We will take a look at using the OLTP database, the SQL Analytics endpoint, and mirroring work to enable integration with other Fabric workloads in a way that is intuitive to SQL Pros. We will also explore how some of the built-in governance features of Fabric aide SQL developers and DBAs alike.

By the end of this session you will better understand how to extend your SQL skills into a modern data ecosystem without leaving your comfort zone.
