Abstract

Techniques described herein can accelerate change data capture determinations such as stream reads, which show changes made to a table between two points in time. Three distinct row bitests that mark deleted, updated, inserted, rows in micro-partitions can be added as metadata for the table. These bitsets can be generated during DML operations and then stored as metadata of the new partition generated by the DML operations. The bitsets can then be used to generate streams showing the changes in the table between two points in time (changes interval).
