After spending some time thinking about the best way to come back to writing about Columnstore Indexes, after 5 and half years hiatus, I came to a conclusion that I have never published a post on what is still missing. With that in mind, I decided to mark my comeback to writing technical posts on my blog with rather simple post on the things that are needed, but did not made into the SQL Server – based engines so far (as of December 2025).
Niko has seven items on his list. I tend not to cover wish lists on Curated SQL, but when it’s Niko and columnstore indexes, I’m willing to make an exception.
