Improved Query Performance with Variant Indexes

Summary: Reviews read-mostly indexing tech and proposes two variant indexes: Projection indexing (column values in RID order) and Bit-Sliced (bitwise view). Shows targeted performance gains over conventional indexes for certain aggregations, predicates, and multi-dimensional group-by queries, including a novel OLAP-like grouping method.
