SQLserverInternals |
About Kalen Delaney has been working with SQL Server for over 21 years, starting with her employment with the Sybase Corporation in October 1987. The first chapter of the first two Inside SQL Server books that she worked on contained all kinds of juicy details about the beginning of SQL Server with Sybase, and the author of the book's first edition, Ron Soukup, was very much involved in the original joint product. Kalen was also there, in the other half of the arena! She was working in Sybase Technical Support when the first OS/2 SQL Server was set up in one of our labs. |

Session description |
Special Storage Structures |
This session will cover the different methods that SQL Server uses to store data that doesn't fit in a normal 8K page, or that may need to go beyond the limits of the row and column maximums available through SQL Server 2000. We will look at the mechanisms for large object storage, row overflow data, filestream data, and sparse columns. |
The Compression Session |
This session will look at the mechanisms SQL Server 2008 uses to store compressed data. SQL Server 2008 supports ROW compression and PAGE compression to enable you to maximum your storage capacity. This session will look at the details of how compression works, and how compressed data is managed. |
