Enter the “architecture layer”. I hear you asking. “Isn’t that just the persistence layer?” Yes and no.

[New England] NESQL Special Meeting, Featuring Craig Freedman

Next Thursday, May 8, the New England SQL Server Users Group will have a special meeting, featuring Craig Freedman from the SQL Server development team. At the meeting next week, Craig will discuss some of what he talked about in the chapter, including the basics of how the query processor works and what iterators are. He’ll cover the various operators you’ll commonly see in query plans, and describe how they actually work internally.This should be a great meeting, and we expect it to be very well attended. In order to help us figure out food and drink, in addition to securing enough chairs for the meeting room, we need you to RSVP if you’re planning to attend. In order to RSVP, sign up for our mailing list.
