Finding Candidates For Memory-Optimized Tables

Ned Otter points out a very interesting report in SSMS 2016 and 2017, which helps you determine if you should migrate a table to be memory-optimized:

The chart attempts to display both the best candidates and the degree of difficulty for migration. But there are a few problems with the “difficulty” rating of this internal query, and as a result, if we really want to know how easy/difficult the process might be, we’ll have to roll our own query.

Read on for more details, as well as a script Ned has put together to do the same in T-SQL.
