SQL Server 1.0 Mirroring
Proposed session for SQLBits 2026TL; DR
Watch SQL Server 1.0 leap into Microsoft Fabric in just 5 minutes! I’ll demo how Open Mirroring can replicate even the oldest SQL Server into OneLake using simple file‑based patterns. A lightning‑fast look at bringing legacy data into the future
Session Details
In this lightning‑fast 5‑minute session, I’ll show you how to take classic SQL Server 1.0 and mirror it straight into Microsoft Fabric using Open Mirroring.
No native connectors, no pipelines, no tricks — just a clean, file‑based mirroring pattern that brings even the oldest SQL Server workloads into OneLake.
We’ll race from zero to mirrored: generating change files, landing them correctly, watching Fabric automatically convert them into Delta tables, and proving that Open Mirroring can bridge decades‑old systems into a modern analytics platform.
If you’ve ever wondered whether Open Mirroring can really handle any source, even SQL Server 1.0.
Come along and see how fast you can bring legacy data into the future.
