receiving semi-structured data elements from a data source that is connected over a computer network; performing statistical analysis on collections of the semi-structured data elements as they are added to the database via a computer processor; identifying common data elements from within the semi-structured data; combining common data elements from the data source into separate pseudo-columns; storing non-common semi-structured data elements in an overflow serialized column in computer memory; and deriving metadata corresponding to the pseudo-columns of the common data elements from the statistical analysis.
