Free Webcast Tomorrow: Fundamentals of Columnstore

Fundamentals of Columnstore IndexesIt’s time for SQL Server Spring Training! I’m teaching 60-90 minutes of my most popular classes for free over the next few months.

Tomorrow I’m teaching Fundamentals of Columnstore, and we’re going to be covering the internals of how SQL Server and Azure SQL DB store data in columnstore indexes. You’ll learn why people think it’s an index on every column, but in reality, it’s something wildly different.

There’s a lot more to cover in columnstore, like how columnstore indexes are rebuilt, why it’s so important to do index maintenance on columnstore indexes (unlike rowstore), the differences between clustered and nonclustered columnstore indexes, and why partitioning makes so much sense for columnstore indexes. We cover those in our full Fundamentals of Columnstore class.

If you’ve never attended a formal SQL Server training class before, let’s fix that and get you started for free tomorrow morning. Register now and I’ll see you at 11AM Eastern, 10AM Central, 8AM Pacific. The webcast will not be recorded – be there, be square, or buy the full class for $89.

    Didn’t receive zoom invite, is this still scheduled?

    • Yep, went off great. It wasn’t on Zoom though. Going forward, when you sign up for stuff, be aware that the emails go out *instantly*, so if you don’t see them, check your spam or junk folders. Cheers!

        No worries! I realized after I sent the comment that the email was sent Sunday but I read it on Monday and thought the class was Tuesday, so I was just time-traveling and missed the boat 🙂
