A database system detects a query targeting a first database object stored in a unified persistence format in a persistence store, where a first load unit is specified for loading the first database object into an in-memory store. The database system determines whether to convert the first load unit to a second load unit based on one or more conditions. In response to determining to convert the first load unit to the second load unit for the first database object, the first database object is loaded into the in-memory store according to the second load unit without performing a rewrite of the first database object in the persistence store. In an example, the first load unit is a column-loadable unit and the second load unit is a page-loadable unit.

Load unit conversion with unified persistence

A database system detects an operation to move a first database object from an in-memory store to a persistence store, wherein the first database object is in either a page-loadable or column-loadable format in the in-memory store, and wherein the first database object comprises a plurality of subcomponents. Each subcomponent of the first database object is examined separately from other subcomponents of the plurality of subcomponents. In response to determining that a first subcomponent of the plurality of subcomponents has a datatype and a compression type supported by a unified persistence format, the first subcomponent is stored in a unified persistence format in the persistence store. In response to determining that a second subcomponent of the plurality of subcomponents has either a datatype or a compression type which is not supported by the unified persistence format, the second subcomponent is stored in a serial persistence format in the persistence store.

Unified persistence overall feature

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for maintaining of a geometric object in a database. An embodiment operates by a database maintaining a first page storing a data block in the database's on-disk store such that the data block stores at least one byte of the geometric object. After receiving the request for the geometric object, the database loads the page storing the geometric object in the in-memory store and determines the size of the geometric object. Based on the size of the geometric object, the database stores the geometric object in the in-memory store directly or in a heap of the in-memory store.

Hybrid in-memory/pageable spatial column data

A primary database system loads database objects into a primary in-memory store according to a given format. The primary database captures, in replay logs, the loading of the database objects according to the given format. The primary database sends the replay logs to a secondary database system. In response to receiving a replay log, the secondary database checks the value of a log replay configuration parameter. If the configuration parameter is a first value, the secondary database replays the replay log to load the corresponding database objects into a secondary in-memory store according to a first format. If the configuration parameter is a second value, the secondary database replays the log to load the objects according to a second format, and if the configuration parameter is a third value, the secondary database replays the log to load the objects in a same format which was used by the primary database.

Database load unit for replication log replay

Computer-implemented methods, systems and products, the method comprising receiving, at a data server associated with a database, a command for data transfer between a client machine and the data server over a communications network, the data being stored in at least a data table comprising one or more columns; in response to receiving the command for data transfer, determining whether one or more columns of the data table are designated; identifying the one or more designated columns, such that data associated with the one or more designated columns is either considered or not considered for purpose of the data transfer; and executing the command to transfer the data in the database according to the designated columns.
