Blog postThis month’s T-SQL Tuesday is hosted by Jess Pomfret (@jpomfret). She wants to hear about life hacks to make your life easier! In this post, I share two of my most-used keyboard shortcuts. One for moving text lines up and down without copying and pasting, and one for moving windows around without dragging and dropping. I use these all the time :)

Blog postOn February 6-7, I will be presenting Understanding Azure Data Factory: The What, When, and Why at NIC 2020 in Oslo :D
This is a brand new event for me, both as an attendee and speaker. NIC 2020 takes place in Oslo Spektrum, one of Norway’s largest indoor arenas. I’ve only been there for concerts, so I’m very excited to see what it’s like to attend a conference there. I really have no idea what to expect at this event, and that’s fun! :)
NIC is short for Nordic Infrastructure -
Blog postOn March 31st, I will be presenting my A Day Full of Azure Data Factory training day at SQLBits 2020. Yay! :D
SQLBits is one of my absolute favorite events. I was literally jumping up and down when I got the news that I was selected as a speaker! In addition to presenting a training day session, I will be volunteering again on the other days. (And hopefully presenting a general session as well!)
If you are considering registering for SQLBits 2020, I highly recommend that you m -
Blog postIt’s December 31st, 2019. WHAAAAAT? :-O I have no idea how we’re almost in 2020, but here we are! Just a few hours left of the year. (Hi to my friends around the world who are already in 2020!) Like many others, I enjoy reflecting on the year that’s almost over. This year, I’ve decided to collect some of my highlights from 2019.
(Warning! There will be lots of tweets and pictures.)
This is a total brag fest that I’m writing solely for myself. It’s my 2019 highlight reel that I -
Blog postFor the past 25 days, I have written one blog post per day about Azure Data Factory. My goal was to start completely from scratch and cover the fundamentals in casual, bite-sized blog posts. This became the Beginner’s Guide to Azure Data Factory. Today, I will share a bunch of resources to help you continue your own learning journey.
I’ve already seen from your questions and comments that you are ready to jump way ahead and dive into way more advanced topics than I ever intended this -
Blog postCongratulations! You’ve made it through my entire Beginner’s Guide to Azure Data Factory :) We’ve gone through the fundamentals in the first 23 posts, and now we just have one more thing to talk about: Pricing.
And today, I’m actually going to talk! You see, in November 2019, I presented a 20-minute session at Microsoft Ignite about understanding Azure Data Factory pricing. And since it was recorded and the recording is available for free for everyone… Well, let’s just say that after -
Blog postIn the previous post, we looked at foreach loops and how to control them using arrays. But you can also control them using more complex objects! In this post, we will look at lookups. How do they work? What can you use them for? And how do you use the output in later activities, like controlling foreach loops?
Lookups are similar to copy data activities, except that you only get data from lookups. They have a source dataset, but they do not have a sink dataset. (So, like… half a copy -
Blog postIn the previous post, we looked at how to use variables in pipelines. We took a sneak peek at working with an array, but we didn’t actually do anything with it. But now, we will! In this post, we will look at how to use arrays to control foreach loops.
You can use foreach loops to execute the same set of activities or pipelines multiple times, with different values each time. A foreach loop iterates over a collection. That collection can be either an array or a more complex object. In -
Blog postIn the previous post, we talked about why you would want to build a dynamic solution, then looked at how to use parameters. In this post, we will look at variables, how they are different from parameters, and how to use the set variable and append variable activities.
Parameters are external values passed into pipelines. They can’t be changed inside a pipeline. Variables, on the other hand, are internal values that live inside a pipeline. They can be changed inside that pipeline.

Blog postIn the last mini-series inside the series (:D), we will go through how to build dynamic pipelines in Azure Data Factory. In this post, we will look at parameters, expressions, and functions. Later, we will look at variables, loops, and lookups. Fun!
But first, let’s take a step back and discuss why we want to build dynamic pipelines at all.
