Abstract
Improved database consistency and consistency checking may be provided by cross-referenced split data storage for irregular fields using auxiliary pointers. A fixed-size memory slot may be allocated to a database table in a database system, where the fixed-size memory slot has an address. A variable-size memory slot may be allocated to the database table, where the variable-size memory slot has a different address. For an irregular field in the database table, one or more properties of the irregular field may be stored in the fixed-size memory slot. The one or more properties may include a first pointer which may have the address of the variable-size memory slot. For the irregular field in the database table, at least a portion of data of the irregular field and a second pointer, which may have the address of the fixed-size memory slot, may be stored in the variable-size memory slot.
