22-25 April 2026 Jamie Thomson
I used SQL Server exclusively from 2004 - 2014, I then moved to the hadoop ecosystem and now I've landed in GCP. I'd love to come and share some technologies that my SQL Server friends might not be familiar with.
Jamie Thomson's Training Days
SSDT Database projects from the ground-upSQLBits 2013
SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) database projects bring SQL Server development into the modern era. Come along and learn how SSDT database projects can accelerate your SQL Server development and deployments.
Jamie Thomson's Sessions
Real world SSDTSQLBits 2013
SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) provide a new declarative model for building SQL Server databases. Come and learn more from Craig and Jamie who have both been using SSDT to do that for many months.
A lap around the SSIS CatalogSQLBits 2012
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) 2012 includes a new database referred to as the SSIS Catalog. Come to this session to learn what it does and how its going to change how you do SSIS development.
Back to the SSIS FutureSQLBits 2011
A look at the new SSIS features in SQL Server code-named Denali
SSIS Dataflow Performance tuningSQLBits 2011
Building performant data flows takes more than just dragging a few boxes onto a design surface. In this session I'll demonstrate that SSIS perf tuning is less about fine-grained tweaks and more about designing packages correctly in the first place.
SSIS Dataflow Performance tuningSQLBits 2010
Need to eek out a bit more oomph from your dataflows. This session might be of some use.
SSIS Nuggets LiveSQLBits 2009
Learn secrets you might not have known about SSIS
A whistlestop tour of SSIS add-insSQLBits 2009
There are a number of 3rd party add-ins available that may aid your SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) development. In this session I will demonstrate some of them.
Streaming data and privacy by design on GCPSQLBits 2022
Learn about streaming millions of events per day into BigQuery, access to which is controlled using column level security
