Sessions for 2026

AI Agents for Smarter SQL Server 2025 Operations
 

Learn how AI agents can safely augment SQL Server 2025 monitoring, tuning, and recovery using Query Store and execution plans — with real demos, guardrails, and no self-driving database hype.

From Query Plans to Prompts: How AI Understands SQL Server Internals
 

How does AI “read” SQL Server execution plans? This session dives into how AI interprets query plans, costs, and operators, where it helps, where it fails, and how DBAs can use it safely for performance tuning.

It’s Not Just Another Database: The Reality of Modernising SQL Server to PostgreSQL
 

Migrating SQL Server to PostgreSQL is not “just another database move.” Learn what really breaks, why it breaks, and how to fix common issues when modernising SQL Server to Amazon RDS and Aurora PostgreSQL.

Accelerate SQL Server Modernization to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL with Agentic AI
 

Modernizing SQL Server workloads to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL is often slowed by schema conversion complexity and application refactoring. This workshop demonstrates how AWS Transform uses agentic AI to automate the end-to-end modernization journey—from database assessment and schema conversion to infrastructure provisioning and application code transformation. Come and learn by doing through hands-on labs, where traditionally manual, error-prone migration steps become guided, production-ready workflows aligned with AWS best practices—reducing migration risk, minimizing developer effort, and accelerating delivery timelines.
