I’m Not Gonna Waste Time Debunking Crap onΒ LinkedIn. LinkedIn is full of absolute trash these days. Just flat out bullshit garbage. (Oh yeah, that - this post should probably come with a language disclaimer, because this stuff makes me mad.) People wanna look impressive without actually putting in the work to gain real knowledge. They're asking ChatGPT to write viral "expertise" knowledge posts for them, and they're publishing this slop without so much as testing it.

There are so many of these crap posts nowadays in my feed. "SQL Logical query order" "Why you should use CTEs" "How to remove duplicate rows" and so on. @drsql.bsky.social has apparently the patience of an angel to comment on them to point out mistakes :)

It might be my background as an SSIS developer, but I like the clicky-draggy-droppy development in the browser :D

It's not permissions, as it works perfectly fine if I define the git integration manually. The git integration is obviously only for the development environment. ADF code is pushed to the other envs using ARM.

Devops.I specified a custom collaboration branch (adf_main), publish branch is adf_publish, root folder is /adf. All through bicep. When I disconnect to git integration and re-connect, it does work.

I did some testing with data clustering in the #MicrosoftFabric warehouse and damn, that database is quite fast on an F2.

Two questions:
1. Can you also use it for Power BI Pro stuff? (I assume yes)
2. If used in Azure Devops, can I use it with a service connection with federated identity, and don't have the need for a secret that expires?

Loadtesting Microsoft Fabric, partΒ II This blog can also be known as 'The Sequel', not to be confused with SQL, even though Fabric SQL will be mentioned in this blog. Anyway, I digress and don't call me Shirley. For those of you who have been following this blog for a long time, you may have read the posts on Fabric where I'm comparing the F64 Trial with the F2, and other shenanigans.

Blog alert!

I've revisited my loadtests in Fabric and wrote them down. Enjoy!

OK, the query insights table in #MicrosoftFabric warehouse is amazing. I wish we had something as user-friendly in #SQLServer itself.
