  • I want create some columnstore index in my DB's tables, but I don’t know which this indexes always resident in physical memory (use my memory or not!), because I do not want my physical memory used by a lot of indexes.

    Note, I have Restriction to use memory.

  • They're not memory resident, however like normal tables and indexes they'll be read into memory to be used, as part of the buffer pool.
