  • Efficient database query aggregation of variable length data
    Patent number: 10776401
    Abstract: Provided herein are techniques for processing a database query aggregating data. Data tuples of a database object each including a grouping element and a data element are analyzed to determine a length of the data element for each data tuple. A plurality of tables each accommodate a successively greater length for the data element. A corresponding table of the plurality of tables to store each data tuple is determined based on the length of the data element of that data tuple relative to the accommodated lengths of the plurality of tables. Each data tuple in the determined corresponding table is stored to group the data tuples within each of the plurality of tables based on the grouping element, and an indication of corresponding tables containing members for each group is provided. The groups are combined across the plurality of tables to aggregate the data tuples for a database query.
