In-Memory OLTP – Common Workload Patterns and Migration Considerations

  • Article

In-Memory OLTP is a high performance, memory-optimized engine integrated into SQL Server 2014 and designed for modern hardware trends. In-Memory OLTP allows users to move data into memory resident tables while keeping other data in traditional, disk-based table structures. For performance critical workloads, users can also migrate Transact-SQL code to natively compiled stored procedures. This can provide additional performance gains. This paper aims to help readers understand some of the common architectural patterns where In-Memory OLTP has provided significant benefits. The paper also discusses considerations for migrating applications to In-Memory OLTP.

In-Memory OLTP – SQL Server In-Memory OLTP Internals Overview

  • Article

In-Memory OLTP (project “Hekaton”) is a new database engine component, fully integrated into SQL Server. It is optimized for OLTP workloads accessing memory resident data. In-Memory OLTP allows OLTP workloads to achieve significant improvements in performance, and reduction in processing time. Tables can be declared as ‘memory optimized’ to enable In-Memory OLTP’s capabilities. Memory-optimized tables are fully transactional and can be accessed using Transact-SQL. Transact-SQL stored procedures can be compiled to machine code for further performance improvements on memory-optimized tables. The engine is designed for high concurrency and blocking is minimal.

In-Memory OLTP: Row Visibility in SQL Server’s MVCC

  • Article

SQL Server's In-memory OLTP is fast, due to its multi-valued concurrency control (MVCC). MVCC avoids the need for locks by arranging for each user connected to the database to see a snapshot of the rows of the tables at a point in time, No changes made by the user will be seen by other users of the database until the changes have been completed and committed. It is conceptually simple but does the user always see the correct version of a row under all circumstances? Shel Burkow explains.

In-Memory OLTP - Row Structure and Indexes

  • Article

There are several decisions to be made when designing indexes for Memory-optimized tables in In-Memory OLTP, and to make the best choice, it pays to understand something about the nature and usage of memory-optimised indexes. Murilo Miranda continues his series by explaining how such an index is unlike a conventional index.

Implementing SQL Server In-Memory OLTP

  • Article

How do you go about transferring a disk-based workload to the respective memory-optimized design? How do you process memory-optimized tables? How important for performance are natively-compiled Stored Procedures? Artemakis Artemiou comes up with a step-by-step guide to implementing an in-memory OLTP solution .
