  • Reply To: SQL Server Collation

    Personally, I'd remove SQL and re-add with the desired collation.  Changing collations can be tricky, esp. on the master db.

  • Reply To: Does creating memory-optimized tables require a lot of extra DBA support?

    Have you reviewed page compression for the tables?  If not, that's the first thing to look at.  Unless the rows just keep having lots of updates through their entire history.  Generally,...

    I do need to add one caveat: if you DELETE rows throughout the table, you probably should avoid reorg.  Once our data exists, we don't delete it, it never just...
