Abstract
Implementing a database system using a plurality of sequentially ordered drives to store sequential portions of columns of the database, but where the database system is usable by a system configured for use with in-memory database systems. The method includes loading one or more columns of a database into main memory of a computing system as a table based database. The method further includes dividing a column of the database into sequential portions. Each of the sequential portions is of sufficient size to create efficient transfers using hard disk controllers to transfer an entire sequential portion. The method further includes writing each of the sequential portions sequentially onto sequentially ordered drives in a round robin fashion such that sequential portions of the column are on sequential drives.
