Title: Power BI server and Office Online server, modernize your on-premises BI approach.
Abstract: Your company is not-yet- ready for the cloud ? How to refresh your BI solution by providing the beauty of Power BI reports on premises and the ability from the same place to consume your legacy reports or to share efficiently your data model through a unique place. Demo based session with a strong architecture introduction and a “from the field” real project feedback.This session will explore all the possibilities offered by Power Bi Report server: What are the difference with the classical SQL Server Report Server ? What is the difference with Power BI Service ? What kind of data sources are used ? How to manage the refresh ? What infrastructure is needed to make it working ? How to manage the authentication from the data source to the report ?

Title: The language of graph databases and SQL Server
Abstract: SQL Server 2017 introduced the extension for graph databases. As there are millions of SQL Server users worldwide, this feature broadens enormously the audience of potential users. But, what to expect exactly from a graph database? How to query it? Is SQL Server fully featured compared to other products? In this session we answer these questions. We start illustrating the concepts behind the model; how relationships are handled and what are the common patterns and issues for a graph. What are the data connections a graph can easily represent. Then we compare the semantic model with SQL Server to discover how to apply it to real world. We analyze some case study: pattern matching, path finding, aggregation, ranking … For each of them we show how to use standard T-SQL and how to rewrite the query using graph objects. What is the benefit of reformulate our queries in terms of clearness and performances, what is already available in order to consider SQL Server a valuable player.

Title: SQL Server Availability Groups for dummies
Abstract: Availability Groups have become Microsoft’s default high availability and scalability go-to solution for SQL Server, but due to their relative complexity is often misunderstood, or worse, feared.
In this session, we will explain how to plan for, deploy, and manage Availability Groups from the ground up in easy to understand examples and demos.
We will cover both Basic Availability Groups (BAGs) and full deployments, and also cover their use in Windows and Linux environments as well as look at the new SQL Server 2019 availability group support on containers in a Kubernetes cluster.
If you want to finally get to grips with SQL Server Always On Availability Groups, then this is the session for you!

Title: Analyzing System with Extended events, Query Store and R and Python
Abstract: Analyzing System from the eyes of DBA using Extended events and Query Store for performance bottlenecks and improvements. Adding R and Python Framework (with SQL Server 2016) and Power BI we can improve the insights of performance and predict next problems.
Simplifying the performance troubleshooting by analysing query plans, runtime statistics and query history captured (all by using the Query store) we will be combining the data from extended events. With both powerful system insights, we will add the statistical abilities of Microsoft R server and create advanced statistical analysis (clustering type of errors occurring, discriminating the events and reducing the complexity of gathered information). Further more, we will be adding also predictive models for specific events (disk IO, size of temp db) or queries.
Session will cover demos and use cases, especially which statistical approaches and cases can help you enhance the monitoring and predicting next possible event.

Title: A gentle introduction to Apache Spark for SQL Server people
Abstract: Lavorando con i dati, capita sempre più frequentmente di doversi confrontare con mondi che fino a poco tempo fa erano quasi estranei fra loro. SQL Server 2019, per esempio, introdurrà per la prima volta con i nuovi Big Data Cluster il supporto nativo ad Apache Spark, rendendo concreta la convivenza tra il carico di lavoro tipico di un engine relazionale e il calcolo distribuito.
Proveniendo da un ambiente SQL, l’approccio ad Apache Spark tramite il suo dialetto Spark SQL può sembrare molto naturale e poco ostico. La sensazione di “sentirsi a casa”, però, non deve far dimenticare che l’engine sottostante ragiona in modo molto diverso da quello a cui siamo abituati.
In questa sessione proveremo ad avvicinarci ad Apache Spark partendo dalle sue basi, così da capire come ragiona e conoscerlo per affrontarlo al meglio.

Title: Query Processing improvements in the latest versions of SQL Server – IT
Abstract: How many times have you faced bad performances caused by incorrect rows-estimation or caused by multi-statement user-defined table valued functions? Have you ever seen a warning on Sort operator that spills data on tempdb caused by inadequate memory estimation? These are not the only problems we could have with queries optimization, but these are the three problems that SQL Server 2017 Adaptive Query Processing attempts to address. SQL Server 2019 introduces additional features and all of them are known with the name Intelligent Query Processing. This session will cover the Adaptive Query Processing first. Next we will cover briefly the features implemented in the latest CTP of SQL Server 2019.

Title: How to use PowerBI as a free monitoring tool (including 5 free reports for SQL Server)
Abstract: Power BI is a business analytics service that delivers insights to enable fast, informed decisions; we’ll use it as an (improper) free monitoring tool. Being at SQLSaturday, we’ll focus on SQL Server Reports, but the methodology is system-agnostic and will enable you to create a monitoring report for anything.
In the first part of the session, you’ll learn why we’re using PowerBI for such task and what are the limitations, explaining the PowerBI basics, architecture and components.
In the second part, we’ll analyze 5 examples of ready-to-go and license free monitoring reports tailored for SQL Server:
- FirstRespondersKit Monitoring Dashboard
- Xevents Dashboard to track query errors
- Job Information Dashboard
- Permission Information Dashboard
- Streaming DataSet
This will give you both some reports that you can start to use right now, and the inspiration to build your own.

Title: SQL-Serverless
Abstract: Il serverless è la nuova frontiera dello sviluppo Cloud e le Azure Functions sono uno degli strumenti a disposizione per implementare questo nuovo paradigma. SQL Server è un componente importante nell’ecosistema Azure ma non esiste, al momento, un modo “chiavi in mano” per poterlo utilizzare all’interno delle Azure Functions. In questa sessione vedremo in che modo sfruttare l’estensibilità delle Azure Functions per implementare Trigger, Binding o supportare i nostri servizi per l’accesso a SQL Server.
Speaker(s):
- Massimo Bonanni

Title: 101 BI and AI
Abstract: How does the AI make my BI applications smarter?
How can the AI make my BI application smarter? Everybody is talking about AI but what can you do with it today? Currently there are tools like the Cognitive Services, Azure ML or Azure Bot Framework, which can help in the classic ETL process to prepare or enrich data. Examples are the analysis of large data streams from the IoT area, how can I improve my demand planning of a call center or the analysis of social media regarding trends. If you already have your BI application in the cloud, Azure Data Factory, Logic App or Azure Stream Analytics would be the right components for an AI extension.

Track and Room: DevOps - Aula 8
Title: Query tuning with Hypothetical Indexes - IT
Abstract: The query tuning activity very often implies the evaluation of the impact of one or more new indexes on the query plan. The creation of a new index on a large table, as we will see, could require a long time to complete, could take locks for the entire process and occupy a lot of disk space. In several situations hypothetical indexes can help, although, in order to create and use them, we have to rely on a couple of undocumented features. In this session we are going to give all the known details of these features and apply them in examples and practical situations.

Title: SQL Server Modernization (IT)
Abstract: Il supporto esteso per SQL Sever 2008 è terminato da pochi mesi, molte aziende si stanno ancora organizzando per modernizzare i loro ambienti. Ma cosa vuol dire modernizzare? Aggiornamento, cambio di piattaforma, consolidamento, spostamento da IaaS a PaaS… quali e quanti sono gli scenari evolutivi? Quali sono i fattori bloccanti? Quali sono i fattori di rischio più comuni? Come è strutturato un progetto di migrazione/modernizzazione? Quali sono gli strumenti a supporto? A queste e altre domande cercheremo di dare risposta con questa sessione che si pone l’obiettivo sia di fornire una panoramica sull’argomento anche portando esempi concreti dal campo.
