Symptoms
Consider the following scenario when you use SQL Server 2016:
-
You create a clustered columnstore index on a memory-optimized table that contains a column of data type string (for example, nchar or nvarchar).
-
The data length of the column is 32 bytes (for example, nchar(16) or nvarchar(16)).
-
The data in the column is unique or almost unique, and the data size is 32 bytes.
