Ignite is really heavily focussing on Agents and AI. I'm not necessarily against it (I've done a bit of work with SSMS Copilot for instance), but to put so much focus on it does distract a bit from the regular tools a very large portion of people work with on a daily basis. #msignite

Did you know you can use your #GitHub Developer #Copilot license in #SSMS 22?!? Dive into it with a demo on Lock & Blocking on SQL Server & #Fabric SQL Database #FabSQL Link: youtu.be/98EXnKfBabE @joshluedeman.com @sqlballs.com @dbabulldog.bsky.social @bradleyschacht.com @neerajny.bsky.social

@microsoft.com just announced that they are the number 1 AI provider in the world. They also announced a full partnership with @anthropic.com to enable access to #Claude on MS Foundry

I know Microsoft likes to rename things, but did Contoso get booted in favour of Zava? #msignite

Excited for the GA release of #SQLServer2025. I feel like there's going to be a lot of hidden gems beyond the ones we already knew about. Make sure to bookmark all the blogs & are ready for the firehose of info, especially if you haven't been keeping up. techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/SQLServ...

SQL Server 2025 is now GA. You can read about it in my @redmondit.bsky.social column here: redmondmag.com/articles/202... Licensing is the same as it was before, just lots of neat stuff. (Hint do a control+F on "standard") #Sqlserver2025 #msignite #azuresql

This is SO good. I can run SSMS on my MacBook again. It has the new Copilot experience. It has execution plans in a separate tab. Kudos to @erinstellato.bsky.social , Makena Barickman and the rest of the team working on SSMS. 🤗

People pouring in at #DataSatNL

If you were at @datasaturdaynl.bsky.social today and by accident took a gray Fabric coffee mug from the toilets next to room 9 during the 3PM break, I would really like to have that back tomorrow... 💛

Ended the day with a solid session from Bob Ward, followed by dinner with a good group of friendly people. Now in the train back home, mentally preparing for a Fabric Analyst in a Day training.

Second session on #Copilot for #sql done. Nice filled room with a lot of interaction, fun and demos. Next up @barneylawrence.bsky.social on #Purview!

Thanks @kjonge.bsky.social for a solid session on #MicrosoftFabric #security at #PassCommunitySummit in Utrecht. Some food for thought!

If you’re joining a lunch at an event with a non-technical subject that’s VERY clearly programmed to run for an hour, and you scarper off after you ate the lunch, you were never there to learn or improve. #DEI #FFS

A very nice overview of all the announcements made at the Keynote of FabCon in Vienna. www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros... #MicrosoftFabric #FabConEurope #FabCon25

Your data in #MicrosoftFabric needs to be secure! Read more on the security here:

@kimmanis.bsky.social and @kjonge.bsky.social showing off #OneSecurity in Fabric in a very fun and entertaining way: no matter which workload accesses the data (Power BI, SQL, Spark, Excel, etc.) the security definition is respected. #fabconeurope25

#FabConEurope #FabCon25 More security on the workspace level!

#FabConEurope #Fabcon25 Happy to see that SQL Server gets its moment in the spotlight. #Sqlserver #SqlServer25
