I am going to the Fusion PostCon workshop: "Let's Help You Jump Start Your Data Sets Use!" What sdk, etc., should I bring to get the best use?
 

The description says I will be importing data sets into a SQL Server Database. Here are some questions I have:

The datasets will be JSON objects, right? So will I be using some sort of middleware to get them via your API, and to massage them so that they can import to an SQL database? Or

And for SQL server, will one of these options serve me? https://database.guide/how-to-install-sql-server-on-a-mac/

Or would MySQL actually be sufficient?

What do I need to make this day, the workshop and the lab afterwards, a productive one?
