I mean that an operation that needs more memory than is available will fail, but the server itself will remain operational. An simple example would be loading more data into an in-memory table (row store) than there is available memory. If you're using the columnstore then your storage won't be limited to memory.

That sucks, it's similar to Hekaton though. I was hoping there was some kind of a fallback mode when the DB has to juggle memory buffers at a performance cost.
