1. In a computing environment, a method of implementing a database system using a plurality of sequentially ordered drives to store sequential portions of columns of the database, but where the database system is usable by a system configured for use with in-memory database systems, the method comprising:

  • loading one or more columns of a database into main memory of a computing system as a table based database;

    dividing a column of the database into sequential portions, wherein each of the sequential portions is of sufficient size to create efficient transfers using hard disk controllers to transfer an entire sequential portion, and wherein the sufficient size of each of the sequential portions is configurable such that a size of a first sequential portion is different than a size of a second sequential portion; and

    writing each of the sequential portions sequentially onto sequentially ordered drives in a round robin fashion such that sequential portions of the column are on sequential drives.
