The future of database development is here. In this hands‑on demo we’ll unleash GitHub Copilot Chat inside SSMS 22+ – not just as a fancy autocomplete, but as a true co‑pilot that reads your schema, connection context, and even your mood (well, almost). You’ll see how slash commands like /fix and /doc transform raw T‑SQL into clean, performant, and well‑documented code, all while keeping an eye on security and privacy.

A hands‑on crash‑course that shows data pros—DBAs, developers, and BI engineers—how to use Git‑style branching to version‑control code, datasets, and models. You’ll learn to spin up, merge, and prune branches so collaboration, experimentation, and releases stay tidy and risk‑free.

Learn how to embed feature flags straight into your database schema so you can flip functionality on and off in real time—no extra deployments required. You’ll walk away with a practical, scalable pattern for dynamic product management that works for developers, DBAs, and product folks alike.
