Abstract

See full text

An improved method for handling database queries including functional expressions against columns having enumerated storage is described. Upon receipt of a query including a predicate having at least one functional expression referencing at least one database column containing offsets to values in enumerated storage, a look-up table is created for storing results of evaluation of the predicate against the values in enumerated storage. Each functional expression of the predicate is evaluated against the values in enumerated storage and the results of evaluation are stored in the look-up table. Results stored in the look-up table may then be accessed through use of the offsets to values in enumerated storage. The method may also be utilized for projecting expressions against database columns having enumerated storage.
