Hekaton - Origin

  • Hi all,

    Someone knows the origin of the name "hekaton" because in previous editions the name was based mountains.

    Thanks.

  • Maybe this[/url] might help

  • Previously the versions had code names named after locations. Hekaton isn't a version (SQL Server 2014 is a version), hekaton is a feature and the features often get their own code names (eg xVelocity).

    The word is greek, e?at?? it means one hundred. The feature was so named because their goal was a 100x speedup. Haven't got their yet, but this is v1.

  • On a mediocre laptop, 10000000 rows returned in 145 ms and 100000 inserts in 75 ms, I think version 1 is promising.

  • And how long does it take to do that to a normal disk-based table?

    I tested it out, with the load I could generate on a laptop I could not get a measurable performance difference between disk-based table and memory table. Which is to be expected, since it's aimed at very high volume inserts (thousands of small inserts a second) and small queries, not at queries returning millions of rows, which is more the job of Columnstore.

    Nice Gail, but hekaton is the official codename of the edition as the name of the feature.

    It's not. It's the code name of what became in-memory OLTP. SQL 2014 had no code name, other than SQL14 which is what it was called during development

  • You're absolutely right !! I've thought that link http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com.br/ was correct, but in wikipedia the correct code name is SQL14.

    Thank you Gail.
