A Column-Oriented DBMS Platform is a DBMS platform that primarily uses a columnar data structures.
- Context:
- It can be instantiated in a Column-Oriented Database System.
- It can range from being a Drive-based Column-Oriented Database Management System to being a In-memory Column-Oriented Database Management System.
- It can range from being a Column-Oriented RDBMS to being a Key-Value DBMS.
- It can range from being a Single-Machine Column-Oriented DBMS to being a Distributed Column-Oriented DBMS.
- It can range from being a In-Memory Column-Oriented DBMS to being ...
- …
- Example(s):
- Counter-Example(s):
- a Key-Value Store Platform, such as Cassandra (although it does support CQL).
- a Row-Oriented DBMS, such as PostgreSQL DBMS or MySQL DBMS.

- A column-oriented DBMS or columnar DBMS is a database management system (DBMS) that stores data tables by column rather than by row. Benefits include more efficient access to data when only querying a subset of columns (by eliminating the need to read columns that are not relevant), and more options for data compression. However, they are typically less efficient for inserting new data.
Practical use of a column store versus a row store differs little in the relational DBMS world. Both columnar and row databases can use traditional database query languages like SQL to load data and perform queries. Both row and columnar databases can become the backbone in a system to serve data for common extract, transform, load (ETL) and tools.

- QUOTE: There has been a significant amount of excitement and recent work on column-oriented database systems ("column-stores"). These database systems have been shown to perform more than an order of magnitude better than traditional row-oriented database systems ("row-stores") on analytical workloads such as those found in data warehouses, decision support, and business intelligence applications.
