I had the distinct honour (honor) this week of recording a new SQL Down Under podcast with Paul Larson.
Paul is a principal researcher at Microsoft and is one of the keen minds involved in the technologies behind the in-memory tables (Hekaton) and clustered columnstore indexes in SQL Server 2014.
In this podcast, Paul explains his role, and discusses how these core enhancements in SQL Server 2014 have been implemented.
