Whenever I write something as a new concept, I do see people reading the blog do give it a try. Many a times I get queries that the script didn’t work for them after they learnt the concepts about memory optimized tables. The blog I wrote on how In Memory OLTP was supporting ColumnStore – read it: SQL SERVER – Creating Clustered ColumnStore with InMemory OLTP Tables

We are all hard wired when it comes to doing certain tasks. I have attended tons of sessions at the local SQL Server user group meets and it amazes me every time to what I didn’t know about the tools that I use often.
