Speaking on Hekaton at Portland Oregon SQL Server User Group

As you can probably tell by the last couple of blog postings, I’ve be doing a bit of experimenting with the SQL Server 2014 Hekaton feature in the past few weeks. I’ll be doing a hopefully demo-heavy (but I do have a few slides) talk next Thursday July 25 at the Portland SQL Server User Group at 6:30 to share some observations. If you’re at all interested (and you’re nearby, this is Portland Oregon, after all) show up with your questions and your intuition and we’ll all share, maybe try out some things I haven’t thought of yet. Hope to see you there.

Cheers, Bob
