Azure SQL Database Engineering and Product Management would like to announce that Azure SQL Trigger Binding for Azure Functions is now generally available (GA). Catching Up As a quick refresher, the Azure SQL trigger uses SQL change tracking functionality to monitor a SQL table for changes and trigger a function when a row is created, updated, or...
In my previous posts, I have covered using Azure OpenAI services with Azure SQL Database via REST endpoints. This post with further explore that pathway by creating stored procedures you can use to encapsulate the REST calls and combine them with custom business logic for AI content moderation with Azure SQL Database. A Quick Introduction The ser...
As December approaches, it's time for the winter 2023 update for External REST Endpoint Invocation. We have added four new Azure Service Endpoints: Bing Search, Azure Key Vault, Azure Communication Services, and Azure AI Search. Let's look at a few examples of using these new endpoints. Bing Search Endpoints Bing Seach has many useful API endpoin...
Following on the series of OpenAI posts I have done recently, here is a quick how-to on using DALL-E with External REST endpoint invocation in the Azure SQL Database. Using the OpenAI service in Azure, we can use the image generation REST endpoints to create new and wonderful images such as, if you remember, the cat in the data center. So ho...
On behalf of the Engineering and Product Management teams, we are happy to announce that External REST Endpoint Invocation is now GA! What is External REST Endpoint Invocation? External REST Endpoint Invocation makes it possible for developers to call REST/GraphQL endpoints from other Azure Services from right in the Azure SQL Database....
Summer 2023 REST Endpoint Invocation Update Welcome to the Summer 2023 REST Endpoint Invocation update post! This summer, we updated the External REST Endpoints Invocation feature with a few key fixes and additions to help you use more Azure Services with your Azure SQL Database. The feature was released to public preview last year and this late...
In Part 2 of our series, we explore the practical aspects of enabling SQL Graph for modeling supply chains, including creating tables for nodes and edges and inserting data into them. We also introduce the MATCH keyword for querying graph data, simplifying the retrieval of information based on relationships between entities.
In Part 4 of our series, we explore the power of graph visualization in understanding and analyzing supply chain data. Using tools like PowerBI and the force-directed graph visual, we transform our SQL Graph data into an interactive and shareable format. The visualization allows us to easily comprehend the relationships within the supply chain, mak...
In Part 3 of our series, we delve into the rewards that graph databases bring to supply chain modeling. We explore the clarity achieved through the MATCH keyword, enabling precise communication between technical and business teams. Validation becomes seamless as stakeholders intuitively analyze the graph, uncovering missing relationships and enrich...
In this article, we'll explore the fascinating intersection of supply chains and graph databases. We'll explore the intricacies of supply chains, understand their complexities, and explore the practical benefits of utilizing graph databases for modeling and optimizing these networks.
