DP-800: SQL AI Developer Associate
Build intelligent, AI-powered applications on Azure SQL and SQL Server using vectors, embeddings, hybrid search and retrieval augmented generation — and get certified as a Microsoft SQL AI Developer Associate.
Course Overview
DP-800 is Microsoft's certification for developers who bring generative AI directly to enterprise SQL data. Over three intensive days you'll learn to generate and store embeddings inside SQL, run vector and hybrid search, ground large language models in your own data with RAG, and ship secure, performant AI applications on Azure SQL Database, SQL Server 2025 and SQL database in Microsoft Fabric.
