Queerie Memoree Spils

Did you know that if you run a query in SQL Server, and it processes it as a hash match, and there's not enough memory to fully process it, the memory will spill to disk?  You can find out all about it here.

Note: I know this makes even less sense than my usual blog posts do, so for more information, check out Jen's Awesomesauce blog entry about it.  (Please don't sue me Jen!)
