AI-powered applications start with trusted data, and SQL remains one of the most trusted way to work with it. SQL AI App in a Day is a comprehensive, hands-on workshop designed to help SQL developers, data professionals, and DBAs extend their existing SQL skills to build intelligent, AI-enabled applications.

This training course, created by Microsoft and presented by Thorogood consultants, focuses on using T-SQL as the control plane for AI, keeping data private, governed, and protected inside your SQL environment.

Join us from 9am – 5pm on November 27th for this free online workshop. You will learn how to prepare, retrieve, and ground data for AI experiences while maintaining enterprise security, privacy, and compliance expectations.

What to expect:

At the end of the day you will better understand how to:

• Use T-SQL to enable AI-ready retrieval, moving beyond keyword search to semantic and intent-aware queries
• Store and query vector and embedding data alongside relational data in SQL
• Implement Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using SQL as the trusted data source
• Use SQL Server as a secure control layer for invoking AI models on your terms
• Apply SQL security, access controls, and governance to AI workflows
• Ground AI responses in authoritative SQL data to improve accuracy, transparency, and trust
