Develop AI-enabled SQL solutions
Bring T-SQL and database development skills; SQL administration alone is not a substitute for development practice.
Optional foundation
Check your starting knowledge
Use DP-900 to review the basics. You do not need to take this foundation exam to follow our route. If you already know the material, move on.
DP-900 — Azure Data Fundamentals
Core learning · DP-800
Learn the role, one area at a time
Work through the official guide and its learning resources. Use these three study blocks to organize your notes; the official skills outline remains your complete coverage checklist.
- 1.Design and implement SQL database solutions
- 2.Develop and optimize database code
- 3.Integrate AI capabilities with secure data access
Hands-on consolidation
Put it into practice
Prototype a synthetic product-search dataset. Compare a conventional query with an AI-assisted retrieval design, including evaluation and permission boundaries.
Ready to move on when…
You can test database correctness and explain where AI adds value and where deterministic SQL is safer.
Use a dedicated lab and synthetic data, never an employer's production environment. Check licensing and costs before provisioning; budget alerts do not stop spending. Remove resources when finished.
Review & exam planning
Find gaps with our DP-800 test
Try the test, explain each missed answer and return to the corresponding learning topic. Repeat the practical task where needed. A practice score is feedback, not proof of certification readiness.
