A record processing and storage system operates by: receiving formatted row data that includes a fixed-length batch section and a temporary variable-length batch section; storing, in a compressed data format, at least one variable-length data value of each of a plurality of temporary variable-length row sections of each of the plurality of formatted row data; generating a plurality of modified formatted row data from the plurality of formatted row data by, for each formatted row data, replacing a fixed-length offset value for each variable-length field stored in the compressed data format with a key value utilized to access the corresponding variable-length data value in the compressed data format; and truncating the each formatted row data to remove inclusion of the temporary variable-length batch section; and storing the plurality of modified formatted row data as a plurality of pages in a page storage system.

Processing formatted record data with fixed and variable lengths

A record processing and storage system is operable to receive a plurality of formatted record data. Each of the plurality of formatted record data includes a fixed-length batch section that includes a plurality of fixed-length row sections. Each of the plurality of fixed-length row sections includes at least one fixed-length data value at least one fixed-length offset value. Each of the plurality of formatted record data further includes a variable-length batch section that includes a plurality of variable-length row sections. Each of the plurality of variable-length row sections includes at least one variable-length data value, where the fixed-length offset value for the corresponding one of the plurality of records indicates an offset of the at least one variable-length data value in the each formatted record data. A plurality of pages that include the plurality of formatted record data are generated and stored in a page storage system.
