Re:What game engines know about data that databases forgot by jandrewrogers on Thursday April 09, 2026 @03:33PM (#47708644)
Modern database engines tend to use PAX-style storage layouts, which are column structured, regardless of use case. There is a new type of row-oriented analytic storage layout that would be even better for OLTP but it is not widely known yet so I wouldn't expect to see it mentioned.
