Abstract
Techniques are described for performing grouping and aggregation operations. In one embodiment, a request is received to aggregate data grouped by a first column. In response to receiving the request, a group value in a row of a first column is mapped to an address. A pointer is stored for a first group at a first location identified by the address. The pointer identifies a second location of a set of aggregation data for the first group. An aggregate value included in the set of aggregation data is updated based on a value in the row of a second column.
