Defining files for memory-optimized data

This step of the wizard allows you to define filegroup and files for memory-optimized data tables of the new database.

Note: This step is available for SQL Server 2014.

Creating a memory-optimized filegroup is necessary for creating memory-optimized tables.

The memory-optimized filegroup holds one or more containers.

Use the Memory-optimized data files grid to add containers to the memory-optimized filegroup.

To add a memory-optimized data file, right-click in the main working area and select the New Memory-Optimized Data File popup menu item.

To remove a memory-optimized data file, right-click the file in the list and select the Delete Memory-Optimized Data File popup menu item.

The Logical File Name is the name of the logical file storing the data used to refer to the physical file in all Transact-SQL statements.

Data Folder

The physical location of the data. The directory must be located on the server where the database resides. Use the button to

open the SQL Server Folders dialog to select the preferable directory.

Each file can also have Maximum size specified. Use the spinner control to specify the original size of the selected database file (in megabytes).

If Unlimited Size is specified, the file can continue to grow until it has used all available space on the disk.

Name of filegroup for memory-optimized data

Specify the name of the memory-optimized filegroup on the database.
