Title: Recent Changes in T-SQL That You Might Have Missed
Abstract:
A surprising amount has changed in T-SQL in the last few years, from better ways to handle optional parameters, date bucketing and manipulation, through to JSON and bit handling. In this session, Greg will take you through what’s changed, and make sure you’re across what’s changed and how to use it.
