Abstract
Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a query for a set of records in a database system having values in a field of a table that fall within a range of values. The program also determines a number of bits used to represent the values in the field of the table. The program further determines a set of operations to perform on the values in the field of the table based on the determined number of bits. The program also performs the determined set of operations on the values in the field of the table in order to identify the set of records in the database.
