[MonetDB-users] MonetDB internals, does UPDATE update in place?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512

Hi,

Just to be very sure;

I know that the DELETE, INSERT strategy to update the database will guarantee a database that keeps on growing, because of the lack of VACUUM.

Is the normal UPDATE statement for fixed width datatypes in place, or is it also a form of copy-on-write?
