摘要 |
Techniques are described in which at least one column is added to a table in a column-based database that has a plurality of columns and table fields. A shadow-in-place upgrade of the column-based database can be performed that adds at least one new column to the database. Thereafter, access to the column-based database can be seamlessly enabled before, during, and after the upgrade through a plurality of views. The views define a subset of the fields in the database that are visible. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described. |
