Columnstore Preso to the Oregon SQL Server User Group

In the latest-&-greatest effort in my mission to deliver my Columnstore presentation to every geekly denizen of the SQL community on the Northleft Coast of the United States & beyond, I’ll be delivering this week to the Oregon SQL Server User Group.

Though Columnstore indexes were introduced in SQL Server 2012; they're still largely unknown.  In 2012, some adoption blockers remained; yet Columnstore was nonetheless a game changer for many apps.  In SQL Server 2014, potential blockers have been largely removed & Columnstore is going to profoundly change the way we interact with our data.

Here’re the logistical details:

Thanks to MVP Arnie Rowland (b|t) for the invitation as well as Vern Rabe & Paul Turley (b|t).  As I understand it, there’ll be several MVPs & MCMs there.  No pressure—and with luck, there’ll be no Stump-the-Chump.
