Abstract
The subject technology provides modifying data in a partition stores a version identifier and a set of physical row positions in a header, including minimum and maximum value occurrences for each column. When a query to modify data is received, the subject technology determines which rows to modify, checks eligibility for skipping partition scanning, and compares the to-be-modified positions with the stored positions. If no stored positions are modified, the subject technology skips scanning and maintains existing statistics, and creates a new combined partition without recalculating statistics. If modifications are made, the subject technology evaluates eligibility for processing using delta files and a bitset, or performs a copy-on-write process if ineligible.
