Modern Main-Memory Database Systems

Summary: Main-memory DB design treats memory as primary, discarding disk-centric assumptions. Highlights memory-aware storage and indexing, concurrency control, durability, recovery, and compiled query processing for high-performance HTAP. Illustrates with H-Store/VoltDB, Hekaton, HyPer, SAP HANA; outlines trends. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
