Your First SQL Database Implementation In Microsoft Fabric
In this session, Kamil, a seasoned data engineer with over two decades of expertise in data (SQL Server, Azure SQL, and now Fabric), shares his view on the new database capabilities in Microsoft Fabric.
During the session, you will learn enough about Fabric and SQL database (not Warehouse) concepts to start building your own solutions immediately.
The session starts with a few theoretical concepts to provide guidelines and is filled with practical examples.
We will go through everything important when it comes to SQL Database: managing objects from UI, syncing code with Git, developing code with VSCode, using built-in Graph API for applications and also deploying to other environments.
During the session, we will consider what typical scenarios or use cases might be used with SQL Database in Fabric.
