Enabling Citizen Data Science with Microsoft

Back to calendar

Event Date: 27-05-2017 - Session time: 13:00:00 - Track: BI Platform Architecture, Development Administration

Speaker: Jan Mulkens

Title: Enabling Citizen Data Science with Microsoft

Abstract:

In times past, Data Science was only for those elite few with a rare combination of skills including advanced knowledge of statistics.

Microsoft has been making sure that everyone can participate in the data revolution by giving people access to predictive API’s, in-database advanced analytics and drag-and-drop predictive experiments. All thanks to SQL Server 2016 and the Cortana Intelligence Suite in Azure.

These advances have given people with less knowledge of statistics and programming the ability to become what Gartner calls citizen data scientists. Should we be worried about fools-with-tools or should we embrace the democratization of data science as the golden age of data?

Using a combination of theory and demo’s, we explore Microsoft’s solutions to ensure democratization of data science and the possible dangers that lurk below the surface.

Speaker: Rozalina Zaharieva

Title: I am a DBA! "What is the next"?

Abstract:

In this session, we will discuss where to start when you get your job as a DBA. What are the first steps you need to do to discover and arrange the environment for which you are responsible. How to answer questions like: How many databases do you have on each server? How big are they? What they are used for and how many of them are critical? Do you need backups and do you have such, Etc. There are many questions you got from the day 1, but where to start is always the key to not get panicked. The goal of this session is to help you perform your first steps in a DBA job, especially when you get into a situation with only one Excel spreadsheet containing your servers’ list.

Meta-Data Driven Tabular Modeling with TOM in SSAS

Back to calendar

Event Date: 27-05-2017 - Session time: 14:15:00 - Track: BI Platform Architecture, Development Administration

Speaker: Sergiy Lunyakin

Title: Meta-Data Driven Tabular Modeling with TOM in SSAS

Abstract:

Analysis Services 2016 uses JSON as a format to store the metadata of a model and you can change it with C# using TOM (Tabular Object Model). The new object model has a one-to-one mapping between physical entities in the database and objects in the model. This is very usefull if you need to add or change measures without redeploying the whole project to server.

For example, you need to generate set of new measures every year or end users want to add measures themselves and so on. Using TOM and meta-data table you can automate this process and save tons of time. Join this session for learning how to implement this.

Exploring Dark Data with SQL Server 2016 and R

Back to calendar

Event Date: 27-05-2017 - Session time: 14:15:00 - Track: Application Database Development

Speaker: Oliver Frost

Title: Exploring Dark Data with SQL Server 2016 and R

Abstract:

With the addition of R into SQL Server 2016, Microsoft have provided a few extra degrees of freedom for the standard SQL developer. You can now use the R language to wrangle, clean and collect external data, using libraries and functionality that simply wasn’t available to you before with regular T-SQL. Performing data enrichment at scale with SQL Server or even Microsoft R Server can provide extremely valuable new insights for your clients and start reaping the benefits of big data.

In this session, Consolidata’s Oliver Frost shows you how to develop your own application for tapping into ‘dark data’. Ollie will demonstrate how to stream live tweets, perform aggregations in R and pipe the output to a Power BI dashboard, giving you a full end-to-end experience of the importance of learning some basic R code in 2016.

This session is for anyone who is new to R and is interested in expanding their skill set beyond their comfort zone in SQL Server.

Speaker: André Melancia

Title: Hacking SQL Server

Abstract:

How easy is it to hack a SQL Server?

In this session we'll see 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), hacking DDM, 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.
