  3. What is Row Level Versioning • In Computing terms Version means a number indicating which revision something is. • Versioning works by making any transaction that changes data keep the old versions of the data around so that a 'snapshot' of the database (or a part of the database) can be constructed from these old versions. • Version records need to be kept in the version store only as long as there are there are operations that might require them. Curaçao SQL Server User Group

  4. What it uses. • Snapshot Isolation (SI) • Read Committed Snapshot Isolation (RCSI) • These isolation levels let the Select get the previously committed value of the row without causing any blocking. Curaçao SQL Server User Group

  5. How it works • SQL Server keeps previously committed value when it gets updated. • Chance of multiple versions of same row to be maintained. • Uses TempDB to store the versions. Curaçao SQL Server User Group

  6. Test and see if it works. • Create a test DB • Set two Isolation Levels • Create test objects, data • Test the versioning Curaçao SQL Server User Group

  7. What uses RLV Technology • Triggers • Online Index Creation • Multiple Active Result Sets Curaçao SQL Server User Group

  8. Advantages of RLV • No Lock when Selecting • Select gives the last committed data • Decreases chances of Dead Lock • Lock Escalation is reduced • Not many locks used, thus reduces the load on Server Curaçao SQL Server User Group

  9. Cost due to RLV • Since versions are kept, increased use of resources • Higher IO, CPU, Mem Usage when doing Updates and Deletes • TEMPDB must have more space to handle versions • 14 bytes will be added to the row in the DB to keep track of versions • Long version chain can affect Data read performance Curaçao SQL Server User Group
