T-SQL on Microsoft Fabric - Episode 1: Mastering Data Retrieval with SELECT, WHERE, and ORDER BY Learning Goals In this lesson, you will learn how to: Read data from tables using SELECT Filter rows with WHERE Sort query results with ORDER BY Get familiar with standard T-SQL syntax Practice directly in Microsoft Fabric Warehouse 1. Understanding Database and Schema In Fabric Warehouse, objects are commonly organized like this: Warehouse | |-- sales | |-- Customers | |-- Orders | |-- hr | |-- Employees | |-- finance |-- Transactions Schemas help you: Group related tables Manage permissions Organize large systems more effectively 2. Create a Schema Create a schema for the sales dataset: CREATE SCHEMA sales ; Check existing schemas: SELECT * FROM sys . schemas ; 3. Create Tables Create the Customers table: CREATE TABLE sales . Customers ( CustomerID INT , CustomerName VARCHAR ( 100 ), City VARCHAR ( 50 ), Country VARCHAR ( 50 ) ); Create the Orders table: CREATE TABLE sales . Orders ( OrderID INT , CustomerID INT , OrderDate DATE , Amount DECIMAL ( 10 , 2 ) ); 4. Insert Sample Data Customers INSERT INTO sales . Customers VALUES ( 1 , 'John Smith' , 'New York' , 'USA' ), ( 2 , 'Emma Brown' , 'Chicago' , 'USA' ), ( 3 , 'David Wilson' , 'London' , 'UK' ), ( 4 , 'Sophia Taylor' , 'Manchester' , 'UK' ), ( 5 , 'Michael Lee' , 'Singapore' , 'Singapore' ); Orders INSERT INTO sales . Orders VALUES ( 101 , 1 , '2026-01-10' , 1200 . 00 ), ( 102 , 1 , '2026-01-15' , 800 . 00 ), ( 103 , 2 , '2026-01-20' , 2500 . 00 ), ( 104 , 3 , '2026-02-01' , 500 . 00 ), ( 105 , 5 , '2026-02-05' , 3200 . 00 ); 5. SELECT Get all columns: SELECT * FROM sales . Customers ; Get specific columns: SELECT CustomerName , Country FROM sales . Customers ; 6. Alias Rename columns in the output: SELECT CustomerName AS Customer , Country AS Nation FROM sales . Customers ; 7. WHERE Filter rows using conditions. Customers in the USA: SELECT * FROM sales . Customers WHERE Country = 'USA' ; Orders greater than 100

An anonymous security researcher called “Nightmare Eclipse” has been publishing a series of significant security exploits against Microsoft Windows—including one that breaks BitLocker.

Some report burning through their whole monthly "AI credit" allotment in a single day.

It's Microsoft's least-weird attempt at a high-end mobile workstation.

But the hardware refresh is tethered to a bundle with pricey AR glasses.

Microsoft is heading to San Francisco this week in a bid to win back developers at its Build conference. I've been attending Build since the days when Microsoft called it the Professional Developers Conference, and I can't remember a more pivotal moment. As Microsoft continues to reshuffle its entire business around AI, it's moving Build […]

Computex 2026 is kicking off in Taipei, Taiwan this week, where Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, Intel, and other tech brands are announcing new laptops, handhelds, chips, and more.

Here's how to watch Microsoft Build 2026.

Once upon a time, Microsoft had to write off $900 million betting an Arm-based Nvidia chip could power its first flagship Windows portable, the original Microsoft Surface. But today, it's trying again. Microsoft and Nvidia have just announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, a computer with a new Arm-based Nvidia chip at its core. There's a […]

After many months of leaks, it's finally announcing the RTX Spark, the first in a family of chips that will meet […]

INTRODUCTION Configuring a Power BI semantic model involves refining data structures, creating relationships, and setting up calculations. Semantic model is the last stop in the data pipeline before reports and dashboards are built. It is the end product of the raw data that has been extracted, transformed, loaded, modeled, built relationship, and written calculation. The Semantic model consist of Data connections to one or more data sources, Transformations that clean and prepare the data for reporting, Defined calculations and metrics based on business rules to ensure consistent reports and Defined relationships between tables. Key words to note in Semantic Modelling are; 1. Fact table and Dimension table: The Fact table records the quantitative and numerical data. It is where every single details are recorded. The Dimension table act as the descriptive companion to the fact table, containing the attributes or characteristics that provide context to the data. 2. Primary and Foreign Key: Primary Keys are unique identifier assigned to a specific record with a database table ensuring that no two rows are identical or repeated. foreign Keys are columns or group of columns in one table that provides a link between data in two tables by referencing the primary key of another. 3. Star Schema Star Schema is a data modeling technique where a central fact table is surrounded by several dimension tables that provide descriptive content. 4. Cardinality Cardinality defines the kind of relationship between two tables. They are; One to Many (1.*) Many to one (*.1) One to One (1.1) Many to Many ( . ) The cardinality of a relationship is described by the "one" (1) or "many" (*) icons located at the ends of the relationship line. 5. Cross Filter Direction The direction determine how filters propagate. Possible cross filter options are dependent on the relationship cardinality type. One to Many - Single or Both sides One to One - Both sides Many to Many - Single to either table or b
