DP-800 AI-901 Bootcamp: SQL AI Dev Associate w/ AI Fundamentals in 5 Days

SQL AI Developer (AI-901 + DP-800) Bootcamp Overview

This SQL AI Developer bootcamp is an accelerated, instructor-led training to two Microsoft courses and certifications in one week: Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Fundamentals and Microsoft Certified: SQL AI Developer Associate. Over five hands-on days, you move from core AI concepts and Microsoft Foundry implementation up to building AI-enabled database solutions across SQL Server, Azure SQL, and SQL databases in Microsoft Fabric. The course covers generative AI workloads, lightweight AI application development, 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 AI-901 exam and the DP-800 exam on site (or online) while attending this training.

Who This DP-800 and AI-901 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 AI-901 portion at the start of the week covers AI fundamentals, responsible AI principles, and Microsoft Foundry tools for aspiring technology professionals at the beginning of their AI solution development journey. Certification Camps also offers the DP-800 stand-alone for those who are already comfortable with AI foundations.

What You'll Learn in the AI-901 Training

The AI-901 course sets the artificial intelligence foundation, following the skill areas Microsoft measures on the exam:

• Identify AI concepts and capabilities (40-45%): Describe Artificial Intelligence workloads and considerations (including generative AI, agentic AI, text analysis, speech, computer vision, image generation, and information extraction); fundamental principles of machine learning on Azure; and responsible AI principles such as fairness, reliability, security, privacy, and transparency.

• Implement AI solutions by using Microsoft Foundry (55-60%): Learn AI model components and configurations, select appropriate models, apply Azure Content Understanding for information extraction, and combine Foundry services to create lightweight AI applications using basic Python programming techniques.

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.
