High Performance Analytics with Sunil Agarwal

At Microsoft Ignite 2017, I had planned an interview with Sunil Agarwal, and was very excited about it. Then Sunil asked if he could bring Kevin Farlee. Of course! Then he asked if he could also bring their customer, Aaron Gerdeman from FIS. Even better! 😁

In this interview, we chat about SQL Server 2017, Resumable Index Builds, Adaptive Query Processing, Columnstore Indexes, High Availability, Real-time Analytics, Real-time Dashboards and the SQL Tiger Team.
