How is data stored?
Problem 1: How should you encode one tuple?
Record Layout 1: Fixed
Record Layout 2: Delimiters
Record Layout 3: Headers
Record Formats
- Fixed
- Constant-size fields. Field i at byte ∑j<i|Fieldj|
- Delimited
- Special character or string (e.g.,
,) between fields - Header
- Fixed-size header points to start of each field
Problem 2: How should you encode a file of tuples?
File Formats
- Fixed
- Constant-size records. Record i at byte |Record|×i
- Delimited
- Special character or string (e.g.,
\r\n) at record end - Header
- Index in file points to start of each record
- Paged
- Align records to paging boundaries
- File
- A collection of pages (or records)
- Page
- A fixed-size collection of records
- Page size is usually dictated by hardware.
Mem Page ≈ 4KB Cache Line ≈ 64B - Record
- One or more fields (for now)
- Field
- A primitive value (for now)
Problem 2.b: How should you store records in a page?
Goal 1: Where is record X?
Goal 2: Support updates/deletions
Fixed size records
What about variable-size records?
Why store the key and records from opposite ends?
Problem 3: How should you organize pages in a file?
Key question: What happens when all records on a page are deleted?
Idea: Track empty pages.
An Alternative Layout
Row-Wise Layouts
Column-Wise Layouts
Each file stores 2-tuples ⟨RowID,Value⟩.
Values only for one attribute.
Benefits
- Only one attribute to sort per file.
- No IO cost for unused attributes (π-pushdown!)
Drawbacks
- Result attributes must be stitched back together (⋈)
Great for wide, rarely-updated tables where only a few attributes are used per-query

Buffer Manager
Abstract the messy details of File-IO
- Frame
- A "slot" managed by the buffer manager that holds one page.
- Pinned Page
- A page currently in use by part of the database. Must stay in its current frame until unpinned. (A page may be pinned multiple times)
- Dirty Page
- A page that has been modified since it was last read in.
When a page is requested
Is the page in the buffer pool?
- Yes? Pin the page (again) and return the address.
- No?
- Pick a frame for replacement with your favorite algorithm (e.g., LRU)...
- If the frame is dirty, write it to disk
- Read requested page into chosen frame
- Pin the page and return its address
Does this all sound familiar?
Isn't this just Virtual Memory?
Yes!
(Many databases use memory-mapped files as a buffer manager)
Why Re-implement VMem?
Databases can predict the future!
SELECT * FROM R WHERE A > 500 AND A < 2000 → Pages 10-12
How do we decide which pages hold the query results?
Answers next class!
