This chapter provided a detailed overview of a very valuable part of SQL Server called In-Memory OLTP. The biggest advantage is the In-Memory nature of the solution; the biggest risk we have to consider is the memory consumption.
In the first section, we went through an architectural overview and also a comparison between disk-based data processing and In-Memory data processing. This comparison showed how different approaches to both parts of SQL Server are used when handling requests.
The second section was a guide to tasks which have to be done before In-Memory OLTP implementation, and then we started to create objects hosted by the In-Memory OLTP part of SQL Server.
The last section was a real-world use case of In-Memory implementation. This section described some samples of In-Memory usage step by step.
The next chapter will explain another set of advanced scenarios...
