Those who have read my posts might notice the subtle picture change. After four and a half years of delivering content I thought my site could do with a change.
Fresh content coming soon...

Published yesterday. Covers how you can deploy a dacpac to an Azure Synapse serverless SQL pool using GitHub Actions.
Also contains a link to a GitHub repository that you can download and use as a template #Azure #AzureSynapse #GitHub #GitHubActions
Covers performing CI/CD for SQL Server 2022 using GitHub Actions. For a couple of reasons.
First one is due to the fact that when I answered a question on the well-known SQLHelp hashtag last week I realized I had never shared about deploying updates to SQL Server using GitHub Actions before.
Second reason is due to the fact that I wanted to show how to create an SDK-style database project for SQL Server 2022.
Been busy answering some of the questions in the comments for this video about CI/CD for #AzureSynapse dedicated SQL Pools.
Feel free to reach out if any further wuestions. #SynapseInfluencer
