Spend a whole day with the Azure SQL Managed Instance Product Group to discover how to provision, connect, configure, tune, monitor, troubleshoot and manage your instances and databases, to get the very best out of them. 

Would you love to optimise your ETL processes ? Join this whole day dive into different Microsoft Data Platform solutions (SQL Server, Azure SQL Database & Managed Instance) for discovering how can you get more performance out of your platform.

Learn practical tips & tricks with the Columnstore Indexes on which type to use, how to load data into it in the most efficient way and how to get the best performance out of the Batch Execution Mode.

Learn Columnstore Indexes in just 1 day starting with basics of the structure and stepping into the internal details, learning how to load data into them and finishing with advanced concepts of Batch Mode processing and performance tuning.

In this full-day session MVP Niko Neugebauer & MCM Andreas Wolter shall take you on a journey to In-Memory in year 2014. New Features will impact design & performance of DBs: Columnstore Indexes for Analytics and XTP for high performing OLTP systems.

Join us for a pure, demo-driven journey of a dozen incredible features for Azure SQL Managed Instance showing you the greatest and latest innovations enabling Database Administrators and Developers to achieve more. Whether you’re a DBA, Azure Administrator, Developer, Business Intelligence developer, or of course any other data professional, these demos will show how you can achieve more with the exciting features that are available to you. Some of the topics we will cover are hybrid scenarios, performance and scale, application compatibility, workload modernization, compliance, data mobility/migration & business continuity/disaster recovery - and several more - in this fast-paced, demo-only session.

Database migrations to the cloud must respect the existing networking and security systems already in place. Learn how Azure SQL Managed Instance combines its managed-service PaaS benefits with on-prem and hybrid⁄mixed scenarios. Modern features further leverage the benefits of the cloud to bring new value.

Bring all your questions about the strategy and future of Microsoft SQL to the leadership team of Microsoft in a panel hosted by Bob Ward, Principal Architect at Microsoft

Learn more about the next wave of innovation coming to Azure SQL Managed Instance at this session hosted by the engineers from the product group.

Learn in 75 Minutes what Batch Execution Mode is, when & how it will affect your workloads (in upcoming SQL Server 2019 & Azure SQLDB) on the traditional Rowstore Indexes.

With increasing speed in relational query execution classical analytical solutions get challenged more and more. Why loose time for processing data into multi-dimensional databases? Why analyze outdated data if you can have fresh data instead?

Dive deep into Columnstore Indexes and discover their advantages and some of the limitations. Look into some of the Columnstore Indexes myths, understand more complex concepts of Batch Mode & Query Processing with another depth.

If you work with an amazing visualisation plugin NodeXL you might have asked yourself the question - how do I get my custom data for getting those great visualisation for analysis. This session will show you a couple of ways of how to get it done.

Join me for an hour of playing with different ETL patterns by using Clustered Columnstore Indexes. Using different Hardware might lead you to different conclusions,and the size of the workload is always the paramount of your performance.Loading data first and then creating a Clustered Columnstore or creating Clustered Columnstore and than loading - join me to find the answers!

In the ideal world, all information and structures are static, but in the real world almost everything is dynamic, and changes are constant. This session reviews different methods for generating MSBI content (SSIS, SSRS) dynamically.
