### Hybrid Buffer Pool (CTP 2.1)
285+
286+
Hybrid Buffer Pool is a new feature of the SQL Server database engine where database pages sitting on database files placed on a persistent memory (PMEM) device will be directly accessed when required. Since PMEM devices provide very low latency for data access, the engine can forgo making a copy of the data in a "clean pages" area of the buffer pool and simply access the page directly on PMEM. Access is performed using memory mapped I/O, as is the case with enlightenment. This brings performance benefits from avoiding a copy of the page to DRAM, and from the avoidance of the I/O stack of the operating system to access the page on persistent storage. This feature is available on both SQL Server on Windows and SQL Server on Linux.

### Support for columnstore statistics in DBCC CLONEDATABASE (CTP 2.0)
286289

287290
`DBCC CLONEDATABASE` creates a schema-only copy of a database that includes all the elements necessary to troubleshoot query performance issues without copying the data. In previous versions of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)], the command did not copy the statistics necessary to accurately troubleshoot columnstore index queries and manual steps were required to capture this information. Now in [!INCLUDE[sql-server-2019](../includes/sssqlv15-md.md)], DBCC CLONEDATABASE automatically captures the stats blobs for columnstore indexes, so no manual steps will be required.
