How to Wring a Table Dry: Entropy Compression of Relations and Querying of Compressed Relations

Summary: Near-entropy compression of relations via column-wise codes, tuplecode concatenation, and delta-coding to exploit skew and correlations. Segregated Huffman coding enables predicates on compressed data without dictionaries; delta-scan reuse accelerates scans. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
