Data on Kubernetes Community

Abstract of the talk…

Are you a seasoned T-SQL developer, used to solve each and every challenge by writing plain old SQL? But, now you need to leverage data coming from semi-structured or unstructured sources? What if I tell you that you can get your mission accomplished by writing your favorite T-SQL syntax? In this session, you will learn what is a Serverless SQL pool within Azure Synapse Analytics, how it works behind the scenes, and how can you preserve your "T-SQL Ninja" status even when dealing with the data coming from CSV and Parquet files, or from NoSQL database.
