So I have blogged about it, and I have prepared for it, and next Friday at lunch time I will be unveiling my new presentation. The location/other details can be found here: http://nashville.sqlpass.org/Home.aspx, but the abstract is:

How In-Memory Database Objects Affect Database Design
   
With SQL Server 2014, Microsoft has added a major new feature to help optimize OLTP database implementations by persisting your data primarily in RAM. Of course it isn’t that simple, internally everything that uses this new feature is completely new. While the internals of this feature may be foreign to you, accessing the data that uses the structures very much resembles T-SQL as you already know it. As such, the first important question for the average developer will be how to adapt an existing application to make use of the technology to achieve enhanced performance. In this session, I will introduce the concepts of In-Memory Database objects, discussing how the design is affected by the new technology. As a basis for the presentation, I will start with a normalized database, and adapt the logical and physical database model/implementation in several manners, performance testing the tables and code changes along the way.

It is not exactly what I have envisioned for the presentation for the slightly distant future, but I am pretty pleased with where it is right now. I decided that since this was such a new feature, it is very likely that people would not be well enough acquainted with the subject for me to ignore the introductory aspects. So while I originally planned to dive right in, I have added a lot of introductory material to explain the features enough first to make sure that the design aspects I will cover make sense no matter your level with the in-memory features.  I plan to use the same format with some flexibility if I do this for a SQL Saturday later this year, and certain so when I do the presentation at Devlink. Luckily at Devlink I have another 15 minutes to work with, so 15 more minutes of code comparison will hopefully fit the needs of the more programming oriented attendees at Devlink.

Of course, I am not done blogging about a few additional aspects I have come up with, but with a week and a half to go before I present it, more writing on the presentation has been the goal.
