Working With Oracle Database In-Memory

Oracle Database 12c offers Oracle Database In-Memory, which is also known as the In-Memory Column Store (IMCS). With the IMCS, a single database can deliver high-speed performance for transactions and simultaneously support real-time analytics and reporting. You can enable the IMCS for tables, partitions, tablespaces, and materialized views. This section describes the Dual Memory Format used in IMCS. It also covers benefits, restrictions, and configurations of IMCS.
