Microsoft Fabric offers a centralized data hub, where all your data is stored in OneLake. Parquet as the open format of OneLake allows you to connect many different workloads within Fabric, including Power BI, to your data. Beside Import mode and DirectQuery mode, OneLake allows you to facility DirectLake mode in your semantic model, which combines a performance close to Import mode with the convenience of directly accessing the data from OneLake (without the need for a regular refresh). In order to bring your data into shape, Fabric comes with several ways of transforming your data (e. g. Dataflow or PySpark notebooks). Join this session to learn from best practices in making the content of OneLake available in your semantic model.

In this session, we'll explore the recently announced JSON features and other T-SQL enhancements in Azure SQL Database. JSON native type was one of the top requested features & we will explore you can leverage the native JSON data type for faster query processing, modifications, and searching.

The newly added ANSI SQL JSON aggregates - JSON_OBJECTAGG & JSON_ARRAYAGG allow you to aggregate existing relational data into any complex JSON document easily. Discover the advantages of leveraging JSON features in T-SQL to modernize your cloud native applications and interact with other services seamlessly.

We will also look at the most requested T-SQL REGEX functions available for preview in Azure SQL DB. The newly added REGEX functions enable you to write concise queries that perform complex data pattern matching, extraction, validation and manipulation. We will explore how to enable hybrid search capabilities using LIKE predicate, Full-Text, RegEx & Vector functions.

Many companies are looking to reduce licensing costs by moving databases currently written for SQL Server to PostgreSQL.  What are the technical pitfalls you might encounter when moving not only the database schema but re-factoring the code?

In this presentation, we will show how recreating the existing database schema in PostgreSQL is quite easy and migrating the data from MS SQL Server to PostgreSQL is not hard.  However, the old saying of “garbage in equals garbage out” applies to both views and stored code.

These two types of pre-compiled code will challenge the developer to use their skills to decipher code written years ago and convert it to modern day code that is performant, uses intermediate steps for debugging and uses logging for run time metrics.

In short, this presentation is a must for database developers that are tasked with moving and modernizing older SQL Server databases to PostgreSQL!

Give your data the voice through:
•	T ell the story
•	H igher understranding
•	Engaging audiance

•	V isualization (explore / explain)
•	O rganize (so end-user can understand)
•	I mprove (and extract business value)
•	C lean (so you can trust)
•	E xtract-Transform-Load (unlock analytical potential)

It's not just visualization front and extracting business value from the data but also what is behind the scene to make this happened through several practical PowerBI examples.

One of the challenges facing enterprise architecture is maintaining consistency across the enterprise. This is challenging because data comes from disparate sources and systems representing different purposes, focuses, and objectives. On top of that, there needs to be more clarity regarding the terms Data Lake, Data Warehouse, Operational Data Store, etc. To overcome these challenges at an enterprise level, a framework is necessary to apply data uniformly, consistently, and meaningfully. The framework will transform data from multiple, disparate data sources into an operational data store, a consistent, homogeneous environment, as the single dependable source of truth for all reporting and analytics.

This session will present that framework and discuss the following:
	• The challenges facing data analytics and reporting due to multiple disparate data sources
	• An introduction to the various terms used today for data storage
	• The purpose of an Operational Data Store and how it improves data usability
	• The data zones for Raw, Refined, and Published data
	• How data standards simplify and enhance data usability
	• A method to provide primary and foreign keys across disparate data
