Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for storing an arranging data in a database. A method includes a computer system storing, in a database, data indicative of a graph data structure having a plurality of nodes connected by a plurality of edges. The method further includes the computer system determining that a number of edges connected to a first node satisfies a threshold number. In response to the determining, the computer system may store an index in an index row associated with the first node. The index identifies a first row having first and second ranges of values stored in first and second rows, respectively. The values in the first and second rows correspond to edges connected to the first node. The values in the first and second ranges are usable to indicate properties of corresponding ones of the plurality of edges.
