Microsoft released SQL Azure more than two years ago - that's enough time for testing (I hope!). So, are you ready to move your data to the Cloud? If you’re considering a business (i.e. a production environment) in the Cloud, you need to think about methods for backing up your data, a backup plan for your data and, eventually, restoring with Red Gate Cloud Services. In this session, you’ll see the differences, functionality, restrictions, and opportunities in SQL Azure and On-Premise SQL Server 2008/2008 R2/2012. We’ll consider topics such as how to be prepared for backup and restore, and which parts of a cloud environment are most important: keys, triggers, indexes, prices, security, service level agreements, etc.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

14. Caveats and Recommendations :
•Identity and Sequence
•Foreign keys and constraints
•DML triggers
•Some columns types like BLOB columns as image and varbinar (ma), XML, ROWGuid,
timestamp, text as well as ntext and CLR columns as hierarchyid,geography and geometry
•Data Compression and Clustered index but just only NONCLUSTERED HASH index
•Computed columns.
•Truncate option but just delete
•Table hints like with (nolock)..etc
•Alter natively compiled procedure is not supported but just you have to drop it and re-create it again
•Natively compiled SPs don’t support merge commands
17. Architectural design
•
Nonclustered column store indexes are based
on xVelocity analytics engine and xVelocity
columnstore index
•
Store data in column-wise fashion
•
Hekaton technique which is in contrast a
row-based technology
•
CCI (Clustered column store index ) is a mix between
Hekaton and xVelocity analytics engine and
xVelocity columnstore index
•
CCI is the table itself as CCI includes all columns
18. Benefits and values of CCI
• Columnstores: clustered and updatable
No contradiction with DML as Data can be inserted, updated, or deleted
• Fast execution for data warehouse queries
• Speedups of 10x -30x
• No need for separated base table
• Saves space and Simpler management
• Eliminate need for other indexes
• Saves space and simpler management
• More data types supported for batch mode execution
• Removes many limitations from non-clustered columnstores in SQL Server 2012
20. Caveats and Recommendations :
•Foreign keys and constraints
•DML triggers
•Some columns types like BLOB columns as image and varbinar (max), XML,
ROWGuid, timestamp, text as well as ntext and CLR columns
as hierarchyid,geography and geometry
•Computed columns.
• Transactional replication nor peer to peer replication
23. Definitions and terminologies
Managed Lock Priority is used for determining the lock
priority of OIR (online index redbud) or switch partitions
relatively to other end users transaction
Single Partition Online Index Rebuild is used to allow
OIR for single partitions
24. Benefits and values
• Increased concurrency and application availability
• Saving for throughput and thus resources such as CPU ,
Memory and IO
•
Log space is reduced much coz not all tables are going to be rebuilt once a
time but smaller chunks/partitions which permit for faster checkpoints
25. Fourth Myth: New HW Resources supported
and IO Resource Governor
When it comes to security the results speak for how important we feel providing the best security is for our customers. As you can see per the latest NIST Comprehensive Vunererability Database published on 4/17/2013 we continue to lead the way 5 years in a row as the least vulnerable database amongst the Top data platforms tracked. In addition it is important to note that we ware the most utilized paid database in the market per IDC with 42% market share.
When it comes to security features we have achieved CC certification at High Assurance level for SQL Server.
When it comes to separation of duties, SQL Server 2014 now separates Database Administrator role from System Administrator role for greater security. In addition you can even create more granular DBA roles, with different access rights for greater compliance. For example you could have a DBA roles that can manage database but cannot see user data.
SQL Server offers Transparent Data Encryption capabilities that are becoming even more important in multi-tenant environments like cloud. Encryption key management allows you to store you encryption keys on a separate server than the one running the SQL Server instance for greater security. Also if you want to reduce the attack surface area even further SQL Server 2014 also support Windows Server Core and finally the last item is not a feature but critical when it comes to achieving these great results. We have redefined our entire SQL Server engineering security processes about 6 years ago when SLAMMER hit and it is a big part of why you see the results that you do. Security is a mantra in SQL Server engineering across all disciplines from development to test.

Redefined Engineering Security Processes
Key capabilities at a high level when it comes to mission critical include In-memory capabilities across all workloads including OLTP, DW and BI.
When it comes to security SQL Server has consistently been ranked the most secure with the least amount of vulnerabilities 5 years in a row including this year according to National Institute of Standards and Technology Comprehensive Vulnerability Database. SQL Server 2014 with WS 2012 and WS 2012 R2 can provide to cost effective mission critical scale across physical and virtual environments.
We know mission critical is all about the 9’s when it comes to High Availability and with SQL Server 2014 we have made the customer favorite AlwaysOn feature even better to give you the 9’s you need for your mission critical applications.
Finally none of these features matter unless we are there to support you in case of issues or failures and we certainly offer the live mission critical support you expect for your mission critical workloads.

Lets take a look at SQL Server Scalability and how new capabilities in Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 enable SQL Server to scale.
When it comes to scaling compute, Windows Server 2012 not only provide scale for large mission critical databases in a physical environment but also in a virtual environment. WS 2012 supports up to 640 logical processers to tackle the largest applications. In a virtual environment you can utilize up to 64 virtual CPUs per VM and up to 1TB of memory per VM. In addition you have now have up to 64 nodes in a SQL Server cluster.
You can also scale networking with network virtualization capabilities in WS 2012 R2. This helps SQL Server because it also you to move on workload from one datacenter to another without having to worry about the underlying network. With the Nic Teaming feature in WS 2012 you can pool multiple NICs with allows for greater network flexibility for SQL Server databases. You can also assign minimum and maximum bandwidth criteria to improve Network QoS.
With WS2012 you can also virtualize storage allowing you to accumulate all of your storage and assign pieces to different workloads. You can also tier the storage for higher performance for example a mix of SSDs and standard disks allowing you to create tiers so you can keep hot data in the fastest tier and less utilized data in lower tiers improving performance without increasing costs.
Just like WS2012 allows you to create pools of infrastructure and refine and tier those pools, SQL Server take that a step further and provides this type of tiering at the SQL Server instance level with Resource Governor. In addition to being able to pool CPU and Memory you can now with SQL Server 2014 pool IO and tier the pool per your criteria ensuring greater scale and performance predictability for your SQL Server workloads.
