Abstract
Techniques related to flexible record definitions for semi-structured data in a relational database system are disclosed. The techniques include a machine readable medium, on which are stored instructions for accessing flexible record definitions for efficient database storage, comprising instructions that when executed cause a device to: receive a first request to create a first row in a database table, the first request indicating a first set of columns associated with the first row, determine that columns of the first set of columns are included in a second set of columns associated with the database table, select a first variant, from a set of variants, the first variant associated with a third set of columns, the third set of columns including at least the first set of columns, and write the first row to the database table based on the first variant and the third set of columns.
