Abstract
Aspects of the invention are provided for accessing a plurality of data elements. A page of column data is stored in a format that includes compressed and/or non-compressed elements, with the format including a plurality of arrays and a vector. Each of the arrays stores elements with common characteristics, with the vector functioning as a mapping to the stored data elements. The vector is leveraged to identify an array and determine an offset to support access to one or more of the data elements.
