<p>Managing concurrent access to a resource, be it a row, a table, or a single value, is easy if no one is trying to modify the underlying data. But what happens if someone changes data while someone else is reading it? Even better, what could happen if two or more users try to change the same data at the same time? Well, there are a couple of options. The easiest is to just ask everyone to queue up, the other is to have multiple versions of the data available over time so that no one must wait for the changes to be finished. Let's explore both the options with Lara Rubbelke and Davide Mauri on Azure Friday.

<p>Davide Mauri is back with Lara Rubbelke to discuss columnstore indexes. In a typical relational database data is stored per row. This means that all row columns are saved together, which is great in all those cases where you want to retrieve all the information related to a specific row. But what if you want to have all the data stored in a subset of columns but for all the rows? That would be complex and slow—unless data was saved per-column instead of per-row. That's exactly what columnstore indexes in Azure SQL Database enables you to do.
