Insert Only and Delta
Changes to the Data base
Updates and Inserts will not be stored in the optimized, compressed data (aka. MAIN) but in a separate data structure: The DELTA Storage
All changes are just an append to this table.
Reading the Delta Storage
After each reading operation to the MAIN, the DELTA has to be checked for changes. Because it is not optimized, a read could be expensive when the DELTA is large.
==> DELTA should be merged to MAIN
