Columnstore indexes and memory — 1 Comment

  1. James,
    Part of the benefit of ColumnStore indexing is that the data on the pages are highly compressed (corresponding to the cardinality of the values in the columns). This allows more data to be read into memory with each IO. Does the data remain compressed after being read in memory?
