Abstract
Storage regions in a database are associated with respective intervals including first and second interval values indicating a value range for values within that storage region. The first interval values are sorted into an order that determines a scanning order for a data operation on data in the storage regions. The storage regions are scanned in the scanning order to arrange data from the storage regions in at least a partially ordered sequence for the data operation.
