You'll still see me at Bits, just in a different shirt - I may even join you with an orange shirt one day! Can't get rid of me that easily 🤣

I had to cancel my session last month due to illness, so I'm just paying it forward now! 🤣 Hope you feel better soon

Yeah can't see it being multi-TB DW or high performance operational DB, but seems a great option for small to medium low pressure scenarios that want it within existing Fabric $ and capacity

So what are people's thoughts on #MicrosoftFabric SQL Database? Seems to have much better T-SQL compatibility than Fabric DW. Is it a viable DB platform?
