Why I Accepted a Role at Foley and What Makes It Special
By Tom Nonmacher
I just hit my two year aviversary at Foley. Excited about Foleys embrace of SQL 2022. The use of SQL Server 2022, the latest version of Microsoft's enterprise-level database system, allows for high performance and scalability. This is evident in the following sample code that employs temporal tables, a new feature in SQL Server 2022:
-- Create a temporal table
CREATE TABLE Employee
(
[EmployeeID] int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
[Name] nvarchar(100) NOT NULL,
[Position] nvarchar(100) NOT NULL,
[Department] nvarchar(100) NOT NULL,
[ValidFrom] datetime2 GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW START,
[ValidTo] datetime2 GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW END,
PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME (ValidFrom, ValidTo)
)
WITH (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON (HISTORY_TABLE = dbo.EmployeeHistory));
Azure SQL, another key technology in Foley's stack, is utilized for its scalability and extensive cloud capabilities. Azure SQL integrates seamlessly with other services in the Azure ecosystem, providing a robust platform for developing sophisticated applications. By leveraging Azure, we can manage and process a large amount of data with high efficiency and reliability.
Foley is also looking to leverage Microsoft Fabric for building microservices. This technology provides a platform that simplifies the design, development, and management of microservices. This architecture ensures each service runs in its own process and communicates with a lightweight mechanism, typically an HTTP resource API, which enables high flexibility and scalability.
Another exciting aspect of working at Foley is the use of OpenAI in conjunction with SQL. OpenAI has been a game-changer in the field of AI, and its integration with SQL opens up new avenues for data analysis and prediction. For instance, we can use OpenAI's language model to generate SQL queries based on natural language inputs, making data exploration easier and more intuitive.
Foley has provided me with the opportunity to work with these state-of-the-art technologies, and I am thrilled to contribute to innovative solutions. Foley's commitment to technology, its innovative culture, and the opportunity to work with a team of dedicated professionals.
