 <sup>1</sup> In-Memory OLTP data size and columnstore segment cache are limited to the amount of memory specified by edition in the [Scale limits](#scale-limits) section. The max degree of parallelism is limited. The degree of process parallelism (DOP) for an index build is limited to 2 DOP for the Standard edition and 1 DOP for Express edition. This refers to columnstore indexes created over disk-based tables and memory-optimized tables.

+<sup>1</sup> Batch mode on rowstore only supports disk-based heaps and [B+ tree indexes](../relational-databases/sql-server-index-design-guide.md#index-basics). It doesn't support In-Memory OLTP tables, XML columns, or sparse column sets. The degree of parallelism (DOP) for [batch mode](../relational-databases/query-processing-architecture-guide.md#batch-mode-execution) operations is limited to `2` for [!INCLUDE [ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Standard edition, and `1` for [!INCLUDE [ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Express edition.
