A database system may include a storage device to store a plurality of database tables. At least a portion of the database tables may be column-partitioned. The database system may also include a processor in communication with the storage device and a row-column subsystem executable by the processor to receive a request to locate a row of a column-partitioned database table. The row in the request may be used to provide a response to a query. The row-column subsystem may be further executable to determine if referenced column values of the requested row are stored in a cache associated with the row-column subsystem. The row-column subsystem may be further executable to retrieve the referenced column values of the row in the request from the cache in response to the determination that the column values are in the cache. The row-column subsystem may be further executable to provide the referenced column values for evaluation with respect to query conditions of the query. A method and computer-readable medium may also implement the row-column subsystem.
