While Schrödinger’s cat was a thought experiment that may have injured an imaginary feline, a failure to be able to recover databases when required can prove terminal to both careers and Companies.
In this session Patrick we will walk you through how to design, create and test Recovery strategies. Using T-SQL and PowerShell you will leave with the tools necessary to avoid you own failed Schroedinger’s Backup experiment.

However, Service Broker is possibly one of the least used components of SQL Server despite debuting in the product in 2005. This session will aim to demystify Service Broker and introduce people to some of the major benefits that it offers. We’ll build a full application which will demonstrate just how easy it is to get up and running with this technology. This session is aimed at people with little to no Service Broker knowledge and aims to show how applications can be easily created with Service Broker. You should leave this session with enough knowledge to then take your Service Broker skills to the next level and be capable of handling more complex projects.

In this session I will demystify the concepts of DevOps and we will look at two aspects of DevOps - Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery.
Continuous Integration is the practice in which software developers frequently integrate their work with that of other members of the development team.It also involves automating tests around the integrated work
Continuous Delivery is the next step after Continuous Integration in the deployment pipeline and is the process of automating the deployment of software to test, staging, and production environments.
Database migrations/changes are an area that may not be typically automated or utilise Continuous Delivery.
Through the use of a comprehensive live demo to a running production database the audience will learn the benefits and how to implement Continuous Delivery in their database systems deployment pipeline.
