Title: CSI - Taking a Stab at Column Stored Indexes
Abstract:

Want to know if your queries will scream when taking advantage of Column Store Indexes? In this introductory session, you will learn what a Column Store Index is, how it differs from a traditional index and why it promises astounding query results for large data volumes, typical of a data warehouse. You will also learn the important caveats and challenges of implementing this promising new feature of SQL Server 2012 and decide if implementing a CSI solution is a good choice for your data.
