Cardinality Estimates in Microsoft SQL Server
Attend this session and understand how, why, and when SQL Server uses statistics and how the new CE will help improve performance.
Continuous Integration and the Data Warehouse
Continuous Integration is not normally associated with data warehouse projects due to the perceived complexity of implementation. John will be showing how modern tools make it simple to apply Continuous Integration techniques to data warehouse projects
Cortana Intelligence Suite - from a guy on the team
Buck Woody will lead you around the Cortana Intelligence Suite showing you how to create intelligent actions from data.
Cut the R learning curve
There's base R, modern R, the Hadleyverse, R in SQL, and more - understanding where to begin can be an exercise in frustration and cost you valuable time. This session takes you through the R you need to be productive quickly.
Data Modelling For Beginners
In this session we will talk through the process of gathering user requirements to provide a good starting point for your data model. We will use the Sun Modelling technique to aid us in this.
Debugging made easier using Extended events
Learn how enhancements in Extended Events can help in easing the troubleshooting for common scenarios that you face in your daily SQL Server life.
Dynamic Search Conditions
This session looks at the two main techniques to efficiently implement searches where users can select between a large set of search conditions
Enhancements that will make your SQL engine roar #1
Do you have an application running with an in-market version of SQL Server, such as 2012 or 2014? Then this session is for you! We will see more in-depth what enhancements are in the latest SPs and 2016, and why you should install them.
Enhancements that will make your SQL engine roar #2
Do you have an application running with an in-market version of SQL Server, such as 2012 or 2014? Then this session is for you! We will see more in-depth what enhancements are in the latest SPs and 2016, and why you should install them.
Essential Architecture for Bi in a Virtual Environment
Virtualization has had a major impact on computing. While data professionals have adjusted to this for database servers, many BI workloads have moved there as well. Learn about the impact of virtualization on BI.
Excel and Power BI-Better Together
These two Microsoft analytic platforms share lots of technologies and users can import and model data in any one of the environments and use the results across both.
Handling Relationships in DAX
Tabular offers only one-to-many relationships on a single column: it seems poor when compared with Multidimensional. However, with DAX, you can handle any relationship. We analyze and solve scenarios with calculated, virtual and complex many-to-many.
How to start with In-Memory OLTP?
In this session, we will introduce a step-by-step approach to adopting the technology, aimed at beginners who are interested in how it can fit into their own environments.
Introducing the SQL Server 2016 Query Store
In this session we will take a deep dive into one of the, in my opinion, most exciting new feature in SQL Server 2016, the Query Store. Learn all about the inner workings of the query store and how it can help you analyse query performance!
Lock, Block and Two Smoking Barrels
Enter the world of SQL Server concurrency to experience the age old problem of Locking, Blocking and Deadlocking. Let's investigate pessimistic isolation and whether optimistic concurrency could be the answer to all our problems or the last resort.
Locking and Blocking
Locking and blocking is SQL Server’s default method of managing concurrency in a multi-user environment. In this session we’ll look at the three main aspects of locking, including when locks cause blocking and also examine ways to minimize blocking.
Machine Learning demystified: ask the right questions
In this session, we are going to look at a typical machine learning process and how to apply it to real world data. We are going to use Azure Machine Learning to transform data and ideas into models that are production ready in minutes.
Modeling Data in a Document-Oriented NoSQL Database
In this talk, you will get an overview on what to think about when storing data in a document database.
New T-SQL capabilities in SQL Server 2016 & Azure
Discover the ins and outs of some of the newest capabilities of our favorite data language. From JSON to COMPRESS/DECOMPRESS, from SESSION_CONTEXT() to DATEDIFF_BIG(), and new query hints.
