Abstract
In this chapter, we address the question how data is organized in memory. Relational database tables have a two-dimensional structure but main memory is organized unidimensional, providing memory addresses that start at zero and increase serially to the highest available location. The database storage layer has to decide how to map the two-dimensional table structures to the linear memory address space.
