Expert SQL Server In-Memory OLTP is a short but deep dive into one of the most significant feature sets to come to SQL Server in many years -- support for in-memory online transaction processing. Dmitri Korotkevitch is the five-star author of Pro SQL Server Internals, and now brings his same combination of clear thinking and deep expertise to the question of how to think about and best use memory-optimized tables and the natively-compiled stored procedures and other objects that were introduced as part of Microsoft's in-memory OLTP technology (code named "Hekaton") in SQL Server 2014. In-memory OLTP presents many opportunities for faster transaction throughput and taking better advantage of modern and powerful hardware in a demanding age in which systems handle hundreds of thousands of transactions per second and support millions of customers. But first there are questions to be answered: How to recognize opportunities and know when in-memory OLTP is beneficial? How to design systems to use in-memory OLTP? How to choose which tables are in-memory and which remain on disk? Expert SQL Server In-Memory OLTP addresses all these questions and more. Learn the architecture and the internals in order to recognize when in-memory OLTP can make a difference. Learn useful scenarios for thoughtfully incorporating in-memory support into existing applications. Recognize opportunities for in-memory OLTP in new development. Don't be without Dmitri Korotkevitch and the deep expertise he imparts in Expert SQL Server In-Memory OLTP as you move forward in using SQL Server's new and important in-memory OLTP feature set. Covers in-memory OLTP and architecture, including data storage, indexing, multi-version concurrency control, transaction logging, and recoveryIllustrates in-memory OLTP programmability and the process of native compilationGuides in recognizing opportunities to use in-memory OLTP in new development, and to speed up existing applications
