The downside of this compression technique is that updating the database directly becomes
more costly. Inserting, updating, or deleting a record would require decompressing the table,
performing the action, and then recompressing it again.SAP’s solution for this was to implement
an “insert-only” approach to database updates. While a database is in use, SAP would use two
versions of the database table: the original database table and a delta table. The original table
will have all of the original compressed records, while the delta will have the uncompressed
records that represent additions and changes.SAP is able to keep track of the latest (and
therefore most up-to-date) versions of a specific record by attaching a transactional ID. Then,
when it’s time to SELECT a record, the original table and delta tables are joined and only the
most recent record will be returned.
Once the table is no longer in use, the HANA system will consolidate the changes leaving only
the most recent records in the compressed version of the table.
