APPENDIX A
Memory Pointers Management
This chapter explains how SQL Server works with memory pointers that link In-Memory OLTP objects together.
Memory Pointers Management
The In-Memory OLTP Engine relies on memory pointers, using them to link objects together. For example, pointers embedded into data rows link them into the index chains, which, in turn, are referenced by the hash and nonclustered index objects. The lock- and latch-free nature of In-Memory OLTP adds the challenge of managing memory pointers in highly volatile environments where multiple sessions can try to simultaneously change them, overwriting each other’s changes.
