Abstract

A method (and structure) of storing schema-less data of a dataset in a relational database, includes constructing a hash table for the schema-less data, using a processor on a computer. Data in the dataset is stored in a tuple format including a subject along with at least one other entity associated to the subject. Each row of the hashtable will be dedicated to a subject of the dataset, and at least one of the at least one other entity associated with the subject in the row is to be stored in a pair-wise manner in that row of the hashtable. In an exemplary embodiment, RDF data that uses triples (subject, predicate, object) is stored with the predicate/object stored in the pair-wise manner in its associated subject row.
