Course Description
SQL AI Developer (DP-800 + DP-900) Bootcamp Overview
This SQL AI Developer bootcamp is an accelerated, instructor-led training to two Microsoft courses & certifications in one week: Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Fundamentals and Microsoft Certified: SQL AI Developer Associate. Over five hands-on days you move from core data concepts up to building AI-enabled database solutions across SQL Server, Azure SQL and SQL databases in Microsoft Fabric, covering advanced T-SQL, security and performance, deployment through SQL Database Projects, and the vector search and RAG patterns that ground generative AI in your own data. Students have the option to sit for both the DP-900 exam and the DP-800 exam on site(or online) while attending this training.
Who This DP-800 Course Is For
This SQL AI Developer training is designed for database developers, data engineers, DBAs and software engineers who build on Microsoft SQL platforms and now need to add AI capability to those systems. The one day DP-900 portion at the start of the week covers data fundamentals. Certification Camps also offers the DP-800 stand alone for those who are already comfortable with foundations.
What You'll Learn in the DP-900 Training
The DP-900 course sets the data foundation, following the skill areas Microsoft measures on the exam:
- Describe core data concepts (25-30%): structured, semi-structured and unstructured data, common file formats and data stores, transactional versus analytical workloads, and the roles of database administrators, data engineers and data analysts.
- Identify considerations for relational data on Azure (20-25%): relational concepts, normalization, common SQL statements and database objects, and the Azure SQL family including Azure SQL Database and SQL Managed Instance.
- Describe considerations for working with non-relational data on Azure (15-20%): Azure Blob storage, Azure Files and Table storage, plus Azure Cosmos DB use cases and APIs.
- Describe an analytics workload on Azure (25-30%): ingestion and processing, analytical data stores, Azure Databricks and Microsoft Fabric, batch versus streaming, and visualization in Power BI.
What You'll Learn in the DP-800 Training
The DP-800 course is the core of the week and follows Microsoft's three exam skill areas:
- Design and develop database solutions (35-40%): designing tables, indexes and columnstore indexes, specialized tables including in-memory, temporal, external, ledger and graph, JSON columns and indexes, constraints, sequences and partitioning; views, functions, stored procedures and triggers; advanced T-SQL including CTEs, window functions, JSON functions, regular expressions, fuzzy string matching and graph MATCH queries; and building SQL solutions with AI-assisted tools including GitHub Copilot, Copilot in Fabric, instruction files and Model Context Protocol endpoints.
- Secure, optimize, and deploy database solutions (35-40%): Always Encrypted and column-level encryption, Dynamic Data Masking, row-level security, object-level permissions, passwordless access and auditing; performance work with execution plans, dynamic management views, Query Store and deadlock resolution; CI/CD through SQL Database Projects with source control, branching, secrets management and schema drift detection; and integration with Azure services including Data API builder, REST and GraphQL endpoints, Azure Monitor and change data capture.
- Implement AI capabilities in database solutions (25-30%): evaluating and managing external models, choosing an embedding maintenance method, chunking and generating embeddings; implementing full-text, semantic vector and hybrid search with the vector data type, vector indexes, VECTOR_DISTANCE and VECTOR_SEARCH, ANN versus ENN and reciprocal rank fusion; and building retrieval-augmented generation flows using sp_invoke_external_rest_endpoint.
