INSERT

Function

Insert one or more rows of data into an HStore table.

Precautions

• If the data to be inserted at a time is greater than or equal to the value of the table-level parameter DELTAROW_THRESHOLD, the data is directly inserted into the primary table to generate a compression unit (CU).
• If the data to be inserted is smaller than DELTAROW_THRESHOLD, a record of the type I will be inserted into the delta table. The data will be serialized and stored in the values field of the record.
• CUIDs are allocated to the data in the delta table and the primary table in a unified manner.
• The data inserted into the delta table depends on AUTOVACUUM to merge to primary table CUs.
