In-Memory OLTP – Common Workload Patterns and Migration Considerations
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
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.

After Six Months On The Job What Challenges Remain?
Today we have a guest editorial from Andy Warren that asks what you might do when you get settled at a new job.
Databases with MAXSIZE Set
Every DBA needs to appropriately manage database growth. No DBA wants an application to fail because the database is out of space. A database can run out of space a number of different ways. One of those ways is to set the MAXSIZE of a database. When the database grows to the MAXSIZE the database will not grow anymore and if someone tries to add more rows they will get an error saying the database is full.
