Excited to be attending #SQLBits 2026 this year! Looking forward to learning, sharing ideas, and connecting with leaders and experts from the data community. Keen to meet new people, exchange experiences If you’re attending, say hello or drop me a message – would love to connect!

@PlumsAllan @Starlink Not applicable to Uk. Infact there is additional surcharge is applicable if you are based in London

@Starlink UK??

Data Intelligence Day with @databricks . Excited to see lot of people. #databricksIntelligenceday #ai #dataAi

@AzureSQL This tool was installed mandated in the latest versions of SSMS. Ssms and vscode is the alternative

@mauridb The next question is how does it affect the execution plan tor in flight and for a new query. For instance the plan be using 2 core but after scaled up will it change and use the new plan or only for new execution? Also what happens vice versa when vCore is manually reduced.

@mauridb Does it auto scale down. I understand it can auto scale up based on min and max vCore setups however its not clear whether it will automatically scale down when the system is idle?

@mauridb Kudos to @NTFAQGuy sharing his knowledge on this, thanks @mauridb for sharing it here. Its a great video to watch how the internals of SQL Server changed to bring in hyperscale feature. Couple of follow up questions, in the next two comments

Its great to see and network with lot of people yesterday. #databricks #dataaiworldtour

@NowinskiK Sigh! I missed to update. I wanted to add couple of sessions but this gone out of my radar. Its already closed

Less than 2 hours left and I'm going to (finally) submit 2 or maybe even 3 sessions... 🫡

It's time to head back to reality, so we just wanted to say a huge thank you to our orange team that makes #SQLBits possible - THANK YOU - each and every one of you is amazing!🧡

@davepl1968 The best part is it’s supposed to be temporary 🙂‍↕️. Now I shouldn’t complain to my customers

I wrote this Format dialog back on a rainy Thursday morning at Microsoft in late 1994, I think it was. We were porting the bajillion lines of code from the Windows95 user interface over to NT, and Format was just one of those areas where WindowsNT was different enough from Windows95 that we had to come up with some custom UI. I got out a piece of paper and wrote down all the options and choices you could make with respect to formatting a disk, like filesystem, label, cluster size, compression, encryption, and so on. Then I busted out VC++2.0 and used the Resource Editor to lay out a simple vertical stack of all the choices you had to make, in the approximate order you had to make. It wasn't elegant, but it would do until the elegant UI arrived. That was some 30 years ago, and the dialog is still my temporary one from that Thursday morning, so be careful about checking in "temporary" solutions! I also had to decide how much "cluster slack" would be too much, and that wound up constraining the format size of a FAT volume to 32GB. That limit was also an arbitrary choice that morning, and one that has stuck with us as a permanent side effect. So remember... there are no "temporary" checkins :) Follow me for more random code musings!

Ah! All in Fabric! I wonder whether the database watcher data will be available in #azure #arc and also to export into other data sources like log analytics, elastic, etc etc.

@PBISentinel Thanks for the wonderful gift to my daughter at #SQLBits2024. She enjoyed assembling it. It was pleasure meeting everyone one of you. Thank you.

@fusionet24 @SQLBits The one you talked about @MrSiWhiteley

@AzureSQL Just heard about this from @bobwardms in #sqlbits

Introducing database watcher for Azure SQL dlvr.it/T4MWkY

Ready for todays #sqlbits event? It’s all ready for you to enjoy your tech ride

@databricks Much awaited feature. This is going to be much simpler and cleaner solution than bunch of databricks subnet. Thanks

Azure Private Link support for Databricks SQL Serverless will be GA in April. Users will be able to configure: 👉 Azure Storage firewall to allow access based on stable VNet subnet IDs 👉 Private Endpoints to use Private Link to Storage accounts See how: dbricks.co/48tTdoE

@databricks @AzureDatabricks is depreciating the legacy init scripts. I wrote a script to collect all the workspaces and clusters init scripts. Filter the output by dbfs init script and thats is what requires migration. Check out the blog sql-articles.com/scripts/dbfs-i…
