SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING AND STORING CHANGES MADE TO A TABLE

A base table is scanned with a delete marker and an insert marker. The delete marker identifies a last change committed to the base table as part of a transaction prior to execution of a statement, and the insert marker identifies a last change committed to base table as part of the transaction during execution of the statement. The results of the delete marker scan are filtered with deletions stored in a delta table, and a delete table is populated with the filtered rows. The results of the insert scan are filtered with insertions stored in the delta table, and an insert table is populated with the filtered rows.
