Microsoft MVP Paul Andrew walks through five real-world use cases for Fabric SQL Database within analytics solutions: (1) metadata-driven pipeline orchestration, where SQL DB stores pipeline parameters and dependencies to enable dynamic, environment-aware deployments; (2) custom logging and alerting, capturing pipeline and notebook execution events with Teams/Outlook notifications; (3) reference data and master data management, harmonizing inconsistent lookup values across source systems before they reach the gold layer; (4) Power Apps integration, using SQL DB as a transactional backend for manual data adjustments within the analytics flow; and (5) sensitive data and PII handling, intercepting personally identifiable data at ingestion, applying encryption/hashing, and leveraging Microsoft Purview classifications to drive ingestion logic. Paul also recommends using VS Code extensions for SQL DB tooling and backing schema definitions in source control.
