Atlanta Microsoft BI Group – February Meeting

January 30, 2019 by neal Leave a Comment

Topic: Azure Data Lake for First Time Swimmers

Overview: Data Lake may be the hot new way to store data for reporting, but it can be scary if you’ve never dealt with one. If you have no idea what a data lake is, have no fear! You will get an intro to the concept of data lake and what scenarios you should be considering it as your platform. From there you’ll get to see how Azure Data Lake Analytics and U-SQL allow developers and data professionals to create compelling analytics with data that previously was difficult to work with.

Speaker:  Samara is a Microsoft Certified Specialist in C#. Working in both web and data, she has experience in a wide variety of technologies including JS, .Net, SQL, Analysis Services, and Power BI. Working with Innovative Architects as a Software Develoment Consultant, she uses that knowledge to plug into whatever part of their system needs additional expertise.

Sponsor: Innovative Architects specializes in solving business problems around business intelligence, data management, e-commerce, portals & collaboration, custom application engineering and business process and integration. https://innovativearchitects.com/

When: Monday, February 4, 2019 6:30-8:30 ET

Where: Microsoft Technology Center, 8000 Avalon Boulevard, Suite 900, Alpharetta, GA 30009 (https://binged.it/2KQLAPw)

MDS Features in SQL Server 2019 CTP 2.2

January 11, 2019 by neal Leave a Comment

I finally downloaded a copy of CTP 2.2 and installed it to check out MDS and DQS for any new features and make sure they’re both still included. The preview only allows new installs, so I wasn’t able to upgrade from an older version. Hopefully I can try an upgrade in an upcoming release.

The HTML5 interface seems a little more reactive than Silverlight. Here are some screenshots with MDS running in Chrome on Windows Server 2019:

Here’s the main screen, which looks almost the same.

I haven’t compared the 2019 database to an older version yet but will do so and report in another post.
