  • Publication number: 20230076875
    Abstract: Computer technology where a data table and its index are created using a VOLATILE column type. Records are inserted with a final value and index is inserted with staging value. One bit is used in the data record header to indicate whether it is in-sync with its index. One bit in index key header indicates either this can be an index only update or needs to be a regular update. In the beginning, when a record is inserted into data page, both flag bits will be in the off status, meaning the data record is not in sync with its index entry and only index-only update(s) may be performed. This can prevent needless updates to a data page stored in a volatile memory (for example, a random access memory).
