Most good databases actually store data per column.

So you'd have a list of batches, each batch being a dict of string to list of T.



The article mentions connection, so it’s the connection the DB rather than the data. Ie the thing you get after you open the socket.


Hence the batching.


'Connection' wouldn't be a list. 'Connection' would be an item that has query() and close() functions on it.
