Thank you very much for this interesting documentation. 
I already saw the explain command and (if I correctly understood it) it seems that MonetDB does not store a complete copy of the original table (in a row-oriented fashion). I find that surprising to execute all these joins (I have a table with 227 column) in such short time. that's why I suppose that MonetDB may store a copy of the whole table in row-oriented model.

Thank you to correct me if I misunderstood something.
