Event Date: 08-10-2016 - Session time: 09:15:00 - Track: Cloud Big Data

Speaker: Bent Pedersen

Title: Hybrid BI [EN]

Abstract:

With the introduction of SQL 2016 and all its new features, Hybrid BI is more in focus then ever. Doing BI is no longer bound to be on-premise or in the cloud. With all the new features and the Azure platform Microsoft has made it easier then ever to implement a hybrid platform.

When working with a hybrid platform your organisation will be able to select strategy and features based on the highest ROI. During this session I will go through three different aspects of Hybrid BI which is infrastructure, data-storage and reporting.

As part of this i will go through the advantages and disadvantages of each area to supply you with the information you need to choose the right direction for your platform.

Title: Scoped assignments – Fluch oder Segen? Beispiele aus der Praxis... [DE]

Abstract:

Kennt ihr das? Man möchte keinen weiteren Scope mehr in seinem Cube implementieren, weil man die Seiteneffekte nicht mehr überblickt? Oder weil man mit jeder Berechnung um die Performance fürchtet?

Gerade mulitdimensionale Lösungen können so komplex werden. Die Möglichkeiten sind vielfältig und mit zunehmender Komplexität wird es immer schwieriger, die Auswirkungen einer Änderung zu testen. Diese Session kann das Problem auch nicht lösen, aber an konkreten Praxisbeispielen Probleme und Lösungsmöglichkeiten aufzeigen.

Event Date: 08-10-2016 - Session time: 09:15:00 - Track: Administration (DBA)

Speaker: William Durkin

Title: SQL Server Replication - What, How and Why [EN]

Abstract:

In an AlwaysOn world we focus on entire databases being highly available. However, replication offers another, arguably more powerful, way to make data available on multiple servers/locations that steps outside of "normal" High Availability scenarios.

This session will explain what database replication is, what the different parts are that make up the replication architecture and when/why you would use replication. You will leave the session with an understanding of how you can leverage this feature to achieve solutions that are not possible using other High Availability features.

The content will be valid for all versions of SQL Server from 2005 onward.

Speaker: Andre Essing

Title: SQL Server Security – Netzwerkkabel ziehen ist keine Lösung [DE]

Abstract:

Schon lange ist Sicherheit in der IT ein Thema mit hohem Stellenwert. Dabei steht der Schutz der unternehmenseigenen Daten und der Daten der Kunden an oberster Stelle. Doch wie Schütze ich meine Daten? Die Absicherung der Applikationen, Berechtigungen und Secure Code ist nur ein Teil eines sicheren Systems. Des Weiteren gehört auch die Absicherung der Infrastruktur und des SQL Servers selbst zu einem sicheren System.

Der SQL Server liefert hier eine Vielzahl an Funktionen, welche mit SQL Server 2016 sogar noch um interessante Features wie Always Encrypted, Row Level Security oder Data Masking erweitert werden. Diese Session bietet einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Security Features des SQL Servers und anhand eines realen Beispiels durchleuchten wir die Absicherung der SQL Server Landschaft.

Speaker: Regis Baccaro

Title: Kerberos for BI [EN]

Abstract:

Have you ever seen this message quot;Login failed for user ‘NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGONquot; ?

Have you ever witnessed Kerberos mentioned in a conversation - or in a forum - and seen developers shiver, sysadmins crawl back under their rock and project managers fear for the consumed hours ? Have you ever wondered why it seems so complicated ? If you answered yes to any of these question then this demo-packed session is for you. Because Kerberos is something that anyone who must deploy SQL Server wishes they didn’t have to worry about. It truly affects all aspects of SQL Server including the engine, Reporting Services, Analysis Services, SharePoint and PowerPivot. Furthermore we will have a close look at how to diagnose problems and troubleshoot the three-headed beast when it breaks loose. This session is based on many hours spent sweating in setting up Kerberos in BI and SharePoint environments and explaining support people how to troubleshoot and fix Kerberos issues when they a

Speaker: Markus Ehrenmueller-Jensen

Title: Are You a DBA by Accident? Welcome to the Club! [DE]

Abstract:

When I joined runtastic.com to build their very first centralized data warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server, no one really felt in charge of the server – so the responsibility fell into my humble hands. Besides my duties as a business intelligence architect (designing implementing the database, ETL cube), I had to quickly come up with a solution for the most important administrative tasks:

• Disaster Recovery and Failover • Database Maintenance • Capacity Management • Job Performance Monitoring In this session I will invite you to discuss the pros cons of the solutions I came up with and you will leave the session with helpful concepts and scripts which you can use freely.

T-SQL User-Defined Functions, or: Bad Performance Made Easy [EN]

Back to calendar

Event Date: 08-10-2016 - Session time: 14:30:00 - Track: Development (DEV-OPS)

Speaker: Hugo Kornelis

Title: T-SQL User-Defined Functions, or: Bad Performance Made Easy [EN]

Abstract:

User-defined functions in SQL Server are very much like custom methods and properties in .Net languages. At first sight, they seem to be the perfect tool to introduce code encapsulation and reuse in T-SQL. So why is this feature mostly avoided by all T-SQL gurus?

The reason is performance. In this session, you will learn how user-defined functions feed the optimizer with misleading and insufficient information, how the optimizer fails to use even what little information it has, and how this can lead to shocking query performance. However, you will also see that there is a way to avoid the problems. With just a little extra effort, you can reap the benefits of code encapsulation and reuse, and still get good performance.

Speaker: André Melancia

Title: NSA Secrets - Hacking SQL Server [EN]

Abstract:

How easy is it to hack a SQL Server?

In this session we'll see a few examples on how to exploit SQL Server, modify data and take control, while at the same time not leaving a trace. We'll start by gaining access to a SQL Server (using some "creative" ways of making man-in-the-middle attacks), escalating privileges and tampering with data at the TDS protocol level (e.g. changing your income level and reverting without a trace after payment), and more. Most importantly, we'll also cover recommendations on how to avoid these attacks, and take a look at the pros and cons of new security features in SQL Server 2016. This is a demo-driven session, suited for DBAs, developers and security consultants (Jedi level). Disclaimer: No actual state secrets will be revealed. Please do not send agents to my house again.

Speaker: Gerhard Brueckl

Title: Deep-Dive into Polybase of SQL Server 2016 [DE]

Abstract:

Polybase is a feature originally coming from APS but is now finally also available in native SQL Server 2016. It allows you to query external data sources, foremost Hadoop, directly from within SQL Server and combine it with any other data that already resides in your database. Especially the rise of the whole Hadoop data platform in the current markets makes this feature very interesting and is definitely worth a closer look. This session will guide you through the process of setting up Polybase on Hadoop and Azure Blob Stores, showing some real-world use-cases and highlight the most common pitfalls that you may encounter.

Speaker: Miloš Radivojević

Title: What Application Developers Should Know About SQL Server? [DE]

Abstract:

Nowadays many companies don't have dedicated developer positions. Therefore the most of the SQL code has been written by application developers. And they use only a subset of SQL Server features and usually in a suboptimal manner.

I spent last ten years working with application developers and have collected common mistakes and misunderstandings between them and DBAs that increase development, test and deployment costs and reduce the overall quality. In this session we will cover the most important things they need to know about SQL Server and that cannot be easily or cheap fixed by DBAs or consultants.

Title: Powershell community scripts for DBAs [EN]

Abstract:

There are many community scripts out there that DBAs can use without having to write them yourself. Like Ola Hallengrens scripts, or Brent Ozars or sp_WhoIsActive by Adam Machanic. But how about Powershell? Turns out, this world is still a bit unknown to the DBA but there is a fast growing community with extremely useful scripts for day to day SQL Server management. In this session we will take a look into my favourite scripts and we will also write a bit of Powershell ourselves.
