Bringing the power of blockchain to Azure SQL Database and SQL Server with ledger | Data Exposed

Establishing trust around the integrity of data stored in database systems has been a longstanding problem for all organizations that manage financial, medical, or other sensitive data. Ledger is a new feature in Azure SQL and SQL Server that incorporates blockchain crypto technologies into the RDBMS to ensure the data stored in a database is tamper evident. In this session of Data Exposed with Anna Hoffman and Pieter Vanhove, we will cover the basic concepts of Ledger and how it works, Ledger tables, and digest management, and database verification.
