Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for employing usage-optimized tables with a computer database system. In one embodiment, the database system stores create, update, and delete database operations in the usage-optimized table. The create, update, and delete database operations remain in the usage-optimized table until a flush condition is reached. When the flush condition is reached, the create, update, and delete operations are transferred to their corresponding real tables. In embodiments, the read operation does not flush the contents of the usage-optimized table to the real table. In such embodiments, the database system modifies read operations to account for data resident on the usage-optimized tables.
