SQL + AI: Get ready for a fun new experience, launching next week!

The SQL community is leveling up! 

We’re launching a lightweight, beginner friendly SQL + AI contest designed to spark awareness of SQL Server 2025’s new AI capabilities—from connecting to an AI model, to generating embeddings, to exploring what’s possible when natural language intelligence meets your database. 

Building on the momentum, each week in February unlocks a new chapter of the story - from your first steps connecting SQL to AI, to exploring embeddings, to experimenting with lightweight RAG patterns, and finally orchestrating full end-to-end workflows. This will be hands-on, guided, and fun! 

You don’t need to be an AI expert to participate. Each challenge builds on the last, helping you discover what’s possible when SQL’s new capabilities meet real world scenarios — all in a fun, approachable format designed to spark curiosity and get people talking. 

Join us for some SQL fun starting next week, February 5th! Stay tuned to this post for more details! 

Get ready to build, discover, and play. SQL + AI is here.
