Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for maintaining of a geometric object in a database. An embodiment operates by a database maintaining a first page storing a data block in the database's on-disk store such that the data block stores at least one byte of the geometric object. After receiving the request for the geometric object, the database loads the page storing the geometric object in the in-memory store and determines the size of the geometric object. Based on the size of the geometric object, the database stores the geometric object in the in-memory store directly or in a heap of the in-memory store.
