Oriented Database A column-oriented DBMS is a database management system (DBMS) that stores data tables as sections of columns of data rather than as rows of data. In comparison‚ most relational DBMSs store data in rows. This column-oriented DBMS has advantages for data warehouses‚ customer relationship management (CRM) systems‚ and library card catalogs‚ and other ad hoc inquiry systems where aggregates are computed over large numbers of similar data items. It is possible to achieve some of the
