Using a real world example that is in production this session will go though pitfalls I experienced and how to avoid these mistakes in the beginning which will save you lots of data wrangling over time. Clustered Column Store Indexes are a great tool when used correctly.

This session will show a lot of things in the world of data that went very, very wrong... And yes you are welcome to have a laugh at the misfortune of other people (or as the german speaking population would call it: Let's have some "Schadenfreude"!
