Though most relational databases (like MySQL) are ârow orientedâ, in that they keep rows stored together⦠experience has taught us that pivoting the data arrow so that columns, and not rows, are stored together can be beneficial. This is an old observation that most experienced programmers know about as the array-of-struct versus struct-of-array choice. There is even a wikipedia page on the topic.
