Abstract

Techniques related to cache storage formats are disclosed. In some embodiments, a set of values is stored in a cache as a set of first representations and a set of second representations. For example, the set of first representations may be a set of hardware-level representations, and the set of second representations may be a set of non-hardware-level representations. Responsive to receiving a query to be executed over the set of values, a determination is made as to whether or not it would be more efficient to execute the query over the set of first representations than to execute the query over the set of second representations. If the determination indicates that it would be more efficient to execute the query over the set of first representations than to execute the query over the set of second representations, the query is executed over the set of first representations.
