Ryan Adams's Sessions

Data Lake, Data Warehouse, Data Lakehouse an Architectural DiscussionSQLBits 2026

It's the alphabet soup of architectures so how do you make heads or tails of it all? Do these architectures even work for your business or are they all industry buzz words? We will look at all three of these architectures along with their pros and cons and I'll share real customer scenarios and why they chose the route they did.

MSDTC Highly AvailableSQLBits 2026

You're looking to configure an MSDTC in your highly available environment, but the different ways to set it up are confusing. The choices and paths they each lead you down are convoluted depending on Availability Groups, Failover Cluster Instances, on-prem versus Azure, and even between versions of both SQL and the OS. This session will give you that clarity as we cover everything from how MSDTC works to why the local MSDTC is NOT highly available and how to avoid getting a Suspect Database.
