Use Biml to Build a Local Copy of an Azure SQL DB – a Free Webinar

Join me 30 Aug 2018 at noon EDT for another free webinar titled Use Biml to Build a Local Copy of an Azure SQL DB.

This webinar is inspired by a social media post by a friend. His company is using Azure SQL DB in Production. They want to make a copy of the Production database on-premises to use with testing. He asked if there was a way to get a copy of the database backup from the Azure SQL DB folks and was told he could not. Azure SQL DB supports spinning up a copy of the Production database in Azure SQL DB, though that would increase their infrastructure spend.

I noodled on the problem for a bit and then had an idea: I bet I can use the BimlExpress Metadata Framework for this! Hence, a webinar.

BimlExpress is free.
BimlExpress Metadata Framework is free and open-source.
The webinar is free.

I think I need to set up a tip jar or something!

Seriously, this should be fun and educational. The webinar is 30 Aug 2018 at noon EDT. I hope to see you there!

Abstract

Business Intelligence Markup Language – Biml – saves time and improves SSIS code quality.
