Title: Deep dive into Adaptive Query Processing
Abstract: Until SQL Server 2016, the Query Optimizer and the Execution Engine were strictly separated. The Query Optimizer produces an execution plan that, based on statistics and estimates, should be fast. That execution plan is then faithfully executed by the Execution Engine, even if reality turns out to be different from expectations.
SQL Server 2017 changes this! Three new features now allow execution plans to adapt to reality. Memory Grant Feedback increases or decreases assigned memory based on past experience. The Adaptive Join operator allows the optimizer to create two alternative plans, the best of which will be decided at execution time. And with Interleaved Execution, parts of the plan are even completely recompiled mid-execution, with much better cardinality estimates.
If you are more interested in how all this ACTUALLY works than in shiny marketing slides, come to this session. We will spend the full 60 minutes knee-deep in execution plan internals!

Title: SQL Server Query Optimizer end-to-end
Abstract: Execution plans are produced by the query optimizer that generates possible alternative execution plans for the same query through the use of the transformation rules. You already learned how to read an execution plan and the most significant things to look for such as warnings, most costly operators and table methods access. Now, you want to acquire a deeper understanding of how the Query Optimizer builds the optimal plan. In this session we will learn more about the phases of the optimization process, using undocumented trace flags we will discover the secrets of the Query Optimizer. Finally, we will show how to understand better the workload in terms of the percentage of time-out, the percentage of queries that contain sub-query and so on. At the end, Query Optimizer will not have any secret for you.

Title: Writing queries in SQL Server 2016-2017
Abstract: SQL Server releases follow each other seamlessly. If you are a database developer, is a tough task to stay up to date with new features and getting to know all the improvements that are available. Have new functions been released? Does the optimizer behave in a different way than the past? What happens to the execution plan? Do I need to know any query hint in order to optimize my queries? The final question is: how does it affect my way of writing T-SQL queries? How can I benefit from this continuous flow of updates? So, this session was designed for you. We will go through the new features introduced in SQL Server 2016/2017 for writing T-SQL queries. Some of the topics covered are: functions, execute external scripts, JSON support, automatic tuning, querying temporal tables, … For each of them we compare the same scripts before and after the new additions, to highlight the differences in terms of code writing, simplification, reusability, performance improvements.

Title: Most common mistakes data scientists make
Abstract: In the middle of deploying the model, team of data scientists realize that the predictions are “somewhat-off”. Troubleshooting on the horizon and what to do.
Session will guide you through most common mistakes data scientists and statisticians are making when preparing and engineering the data using T-SQL or any other database system. Further more, we will explore common statistical and data science mistakes when modeling data, extracting know-how from the data, finding the hidden patterns and running different test against the structural models using mainly R, Python, or Spark.
What not-to-do will be replaced with what to-do explanations using sample datasets and sample codes.
Some statistical knowledge or background is a plus!

Title: Automatic Tuning in SQL Server 2017 and Azure SQL Database
Abstract: Ci sono numerose nuove funzionalità in SQL Server 2017 progettate per chi opera su database. Cosa è cambiato nel Query Store per consentire di identificare i colli di bottiglia nelle prestazioni delle query e come indagare per risolverli. Gestione “automatica” degli indici che permette la loro creazione in caso di bisogno e la loro rimozione in caso di inutilizzo e/o di duplicazione. Demandare a SQL Server tutte le attività che possono essere automatizzate risparmiando tempo prezioso da dedicare ad attività più “creative e divertenti”.

Title: Benchmarking in the Cloud
Abstract: Lifting and shifting your application to the cloud is extremely easy, on paper. The hard truth is that the only way to know for sure how it is going to perform is to test it. Benchmarking on premises is hard enough, but benchmarking in the cloud can get really hairy because of the restrictions in PaaS environments and the lack of tooling. Join me in this session and learn how to capture a production workload, replay it to your cloud database and compare the performance. I will introduce you to the methodology and the tools to bring your database to the cloud without breaking a sweat.

Title: Be careful! Unexpected behaviour with T-SQL
Abstract: Several times in Sql Server we have to deal with unexpected behaviour and situations that can leave you confused and that seldom can even lead to disasters. The causes of that are often hidden into details, lack of attention or know-how, haste and carelessness. In this session I will go through some topics and examples that demonstrate that. Most of them derive from real situations I have faced or that someone has told me, with the addition of several classical examples. This session will be useful in order to avoid some pitfalls in which we could fall during our daily work.

Gilberto Zampatti
Time ago (a lot of time ago…) an excellent IT pro brought me with him and became my Mentor in the IT wonderland…it was a world full of mainframes… I met the Relational theory when there were no commercial RDBMS, and I was spellbound by that “magic”. When Microsoft appeared in the IT market, I felt finally which trek I had to follow. I’m still walking on such road, and in my rucksack I’ve ben putting some other stuff (like SharePoint, for example). My sole regret: I’ve left the College to consecrate all my time to my job; curiously, since then, I’ve never stop learning…
