This multi‑part Reactor series helps SQL developers prepare for the DP‑800 exam, Microsoft’s new certification for building AI‑enabled database solutions across SQL Server, Azure SQL, and SQL databases in Microsoft Fabric. The series breaks the exam down into clear, practical sessions that map directly to real-world database development.

We’ll start with a guided tour of the full exam skills outline, then dig into designing and developing solid SQL solutions that match what DP‑800 expects. From there, we’ll focus on the engineering practices behind production‑ready databases, including security, performance, and deployment. The series wraps with a focused look at how modern AI concepts like embeddings, vectors, intelligent search, and RAG show up in SQL workloads and on the exam.

By the end, you’ll know what to study, how the skills fit together, and how to apply them in real projects, not just on test day.
