Talking and exploring In-Memory topics in SQL Server 2014 has been interesting to me. When I wrote the blog around table variable not being just an In-Memory structure, one of my course listener (SQL Server 2014 Administration New Features) pinged me on twitter to ask, if In-Memory OLTP was really In-Memory?

SQL SERVER – SSMS: Memory Consumption Report
The next in line in this series of reports is the “ Memory Consumption ” Report from SQL Server Management Studio. This is a goldmine of a report in my humble opinion and lesser respected. When I used to be consulted or land into performance tuning exercises for customers in the past, there is one question that gets repeated and echoed every now and then – “My SQL Server is eating away my RAM and it is not releasing it back even in non-peak hours”.
SQL SERVER – Good Value for Page Life Expectancy – Notes from the Field #026
[Notes from Pinal]: In the past, I have been wrong many times, but I was man enough to accept my mistakes and correct myself. Page Life Expectancy is a very similar subject for me.

I asked him if he can write further on this topic and help people understand this complex subject in simple words.
