I have a similar question. I'm building a relational engine with columnar storage, but is only in-memory. All the info I have read is about improve IO, but wonder about a in-memory storage that is performant (currently: I just have a array per-column).

My understanding is that insert will suffer badly for things like compressed columns. If my relational engine is used alike-Datasets where is common to iterate by rows AND do joins, unions, projections and filters, so how balance the thing?
