Overview:

The usual method for storing tables in a relational database is to store each tuple contiguously in secondary storage. A simple alternative is to store the columns contiguously, so that a table is represented as a set of vectors all of the same length. It has been shown that such a representation performs well on queries requiring few columns. This paper reviews the shredding scheme used in XMill, an XML compressor, which represents the document structure by using a set of files, consisting of a file describing the structure, and files describing the character data to be found on designated paths (corresponding to the column data).
