Abstract
In several aspects for storing a table, in which the table is configured for comprising records having values of one or more attributes, a processor creates a pseudo table representing the table, the creating comprising defining an empty version of the table in a program. One or more records may be inserted in the pseudo table by encoding attribute values of the one or more records as inline data in the program. In response to determining that the pseudo table satisfies a materialization criterion, the pseudo table may be materialized by creating the table with the records encoded in the program and removing the program.
