Brent Ozar Roasts SQL Copilot (and Half the Database Industry) in 30 Minutes

​Join us for a conversation with Brent Ozar - the most recognized independent voice in SQL Server, with 25+ years of making it go faster. Lately, he's been keeping score on the industry's missteps: SSMS Copilot confidently serving wrong answers, SQL Server 2025's "fluffy" AI features, a CU1 that stumbled out of the gate, and Microsoft quietly retiring SSRS while everyone wonders if SSIS is next.

​Meanwhile, Brent is doing the unexpected: the SQL Server guy is building a second career in PostgreSQL. He's living the transition the whole industry is debating, and he's honest about how it's really going.

​In just 30 minutes, we may or may be not touch the following:

• ​SQL Server's future: dying, thriving, or just neglected?

• ​The Copilot roast: wrong syntax, mangled prompts, and why it happens

• ​Who does AI actually replace? Brent's take on which data roles are most exposed (hint: maybe not the DBA)

• ​Learning in the no-books era and how to stay sharp when tech moves faster than publishers

• ​Final verdict: is our job getting better or worse?
