Promise Their own work or organisation

Microsoft is bringing SQL Server natively to Fabric with Microsoft Fabric Databases.

Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

The evidence is the person's or their organisation's own records.

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

TRUE: Microsoft made SQL Server's database engine available natively inside Microsoft Fabric as Fabric Databases (such as 'SQL database in Fabric'), and customers could use it in public preview or general availability. MOSTLY TRUE: available, with a minor difference, such as a different product name or limited regions. MOSTLY FALSE: only announced or in private preview, or only mirroring or connectors rather than a native database in Fabric. FALSE: positive evidence that the plan was cancelled.

Reasoning

On 2024-11-19, Microsoft announced that Fabric Databases were in preview (E1). The same post says SQL database, the first of them, was built on the SQL Server engine (E2). On 2025-11-18, Microsoft announced that SQL database in Fabric was generally available (E3, E4). This meets the TRUE criterion, but all of the evidence comes from Microsoft's own official announcements.
