Reviewer's verdict

Use this as a quick orientation to Microsoft's AI tools for SQL, but don't expect it to teach you how to build anything substantial.

Decision summary

Best for

SQL developers who need to know what the 'Copilot' buttons in their IDE do.

Watch for

Exercises are essentially guided tours, not real problem-solving.

Who it's for

SQL developers who need to know what the 'Copilot' buttons in their IDE do.

Who should skip it

Anyone looking for deep prompt engineering or complex SQL generation strategies.

Pros

Provides a quick, high-level map of the Microsoft SQL + Copilot ecosystem.
Sandbox environment is pre-configured and requires no local setup.
Covers both GitHub Copilot and the newer Fabric Copilot.

Cons

Exercises are essentially guided tours, not real problem-solving.
Feels more like a product brief than a technical training module.
'Intermediate' label is generous; it's a basic feature overview.

The lab sandbox opens with a pre-written T-SQL script, and the instructions tell you exactly which part to highlight and send to Copilot. Then you copy the AI’s output and run it. The sandbox validates that you produced the exact expected output and marks you correct. I burned through the whole thing in one sitting, mostly clicking 'Next'.

It’s a tour of where the Copilot buttons are in Azure Data Studio and Fabric. You see how to generate a query from a comment and how to explain an existing one. That’s it. It's not a course on writing better SQL with AI; it's a course on using a specific feature in a Microsoft product. Calling this 'Implement SQL solutions' is a stretch. 'Click the button to generate SQL' would be more honest. It’s a product demo, not training.
