Trainer/Speaker

Dave Ruijter

Abstract

This training day we will learn how Power BI and Azure Synapse Analytics can form a solid marriage, and provide a truly scalable analytical platform. Together we will explore the tricky parts of an enterprise-grade Power BI solution, and how advanced modelling capabilities of Power BI with a solid data lakehouse / warehouse in Azure Synapse Analytics can save the day!

For Power BI solutions, we see it can be challenging to load data from APIs, or to store historical snapshots. This is where you can really benefit from the capabilities of a data platform. Also, if you already have an amazing data platform, we see it can be challenging to load all of its data into a Power BI dataset and still have a performant solution, or to refresh data in near real-time. Finally, daisy-chaining all the steps in the data flow – from source to report/dashboard – can be tricky to design, especially if you don’t want to do a full refresh of the Power BI dataset for performance reasons.

The advanced capabilities of both worlds can really complement each other. We will train you how to design and build a solution, share our learnings and best-practices along the way in a demo-rich day.

After the training you will be able to:

  • Better design and implement complex data models, including hybrid tables, aggregations, and combined storage modes (import, DirectQuery, dual).
  • Orchestrate the end-to-end data processing, with a pipeline chain from data ingest in the data lakehouse to the incremental Power BI dataset refresh.
  • Use different techniques to identify performance bottlenecks in your solutions and how to solve those ("does it fold"?).
  • Implement a cost-efficient solution, that still meets the scalability demands.

You will be guided by Dave Ruijter, bringing a wealth of practical experience to the table across the entire stack of Power BI and Azure Synapse Analytics.

Modules/Topics

  1. Common challenges in Power BI solutions
  2. Common challenges in Azure Synapse Analytics solutions
  3. Azure Synapse Analytics Lakehouse architecture
  4. Azure Synapse Analytics loading and storage patterns
  5. Power BI Premium

Trainer/Speaker

Dejan Sarka

Abstract

If you want to learn how to get information from your data with Transact-SQL, or shortly T-SQL language, then this course is the course for you. It will teach you how to calculate statistical measures from descriptive statistics including centers, spreads, skewness and kurtosis of a distribution, find the associations between pairs of variables, including calculating the linear regression formula, calculate the confidence level with definite integration, find the amount of information in your variables, and do also some machine learning or data science analysis, including predictive modeling and text mining.

T-SQL language in latest editions of SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Synapse Analytics, has so many business intelligence (BI) improvements that it might become your primary analytic database system. Many database developers and administrators are already proficient with T-SQL. Occasionally they need to analyze the data with statistical or data science methods, but they do not want to or have time to learn a completely new language for these tasks. In addition, they need to analyze huge amounts of data, where specialized languages like R and Python might not be fast enough. SQL Server has been optimized for work with big datasets for decades.

In order to get the maximum out of these language constructs, you need to learn how to properly use them. This in-depth course shows extremely efficient statistical queries that use the window functions and are optimized through algorithms that use mathematical knowledge and creativity. The formulas and usage of those statistical procedures are explained as well.
Any serious analysis starts with data preparation. The course introduces some common data preparation tasks and shows how to implement them in T-SQL.

No analysis is good without good data quality. The course introduces data quality issues, and shows how you can check for completeness and accuracy with T-SQL, and how to measure improvements of data quality over time. And since the talk is already about the time, the course shows how you can optimize queries with temporal data, for example when you search for overlapping intervals. More advanced time-oriented information includes hazard and survival analysis.

Then the course switches to the currently most fashionable topic, the data science. Some of quite advanced algorithms can also be implemented in T-SQL. The reader learns about the market basket analysis with association rules using different measures like support and confidence, and even sequential market basket analysis, when there is a sequence in the basket. Then the course shows how to develop predictive models with a mixture of k-nearest neighbor and decision trees algorithms and with Bayesian inference analysis.

Analyzing text, or text mining, is another modern topic. However, many people do not realize that you can do really a lot of text mining also in pure T-SQL. SQL Server can also become a text mining engine. The course shows how to analyze text in multiple natural languages with pure T-SQL, using also features from the full-text search (FTS).

Trainer/Speaker

Milos Radivojevic

Abstract

In this full-day workshop, you will learn to leverage Query Store to quickly identify and solve query performance issues.

You’ll see and learn from many real-world examples, the author experienced in the last three years in the complex SQL Server production environment with heavy workloads. You’ll get tips for proper Query Store configuration and recommendations to reduce its impact on the production system.

Plan forcing is a very powerful feature, but a bit controversial. This workshop will demystify it; you’ll see what Query Store exactly does when an execution plan is forced when it is respected, when and why isn’t, and the most important – when you have to force a plan in the production system, and when force can bring additional troubles.

The next topic that will be covered in detail is automatic tuning. You will understand the benefits and potential issues you can have with this feature and how to leverage it with no or minimal risk.

Finally, you’ll learn how to mitigate Query Store limitations and common issues.

This workshop is a great opportunity to learn about Query Store or expand your knowledge and implement it successfully in your production system.
