Delta and Databricks vs SQL ServerSQLBits 2024

Are you a DBA trying to learn more about Lakehouse’s? Or a Data Engineer wanting to better understand traditional Data Warehousing? Whether you are from a DBA or Data Engineering background, understanding the differences between traditional Warehousing systems and Lakehouse’s is invaluable. This allows us to work with both old and new, whether that be managing both side by side, ingesting from a traditional system into a Lakehouse, or moving completely away from a traditional SQL Warehouse to a Data Lake In this session we will do direct comparisons between features/functionality , illustrating how these different tools are ultimately the same and very different at the same time. Finally, we will talk about how these two technologies can be part of the same data platform solution!
