Considerations
You can modify the default_delta_format parameter to specify the default incremental data format for tables without repeatedly specifying the format when creating tables:
flat: This format has a fast write speed and low compression ratio. It is suitable for OLTP scenarios.encoding: This format has a slower write speed and higher compression ratio. It can improve query performance in OLAP scenarios, reduce the storage space for incremental data, and provide better query performance when theMERGE_ENGINEparameter of a table is set todelete_insert. For information about how to set theMERGE_ENGINEparameter of a table, see Specify the update model of a table or Specify the update model of a table.
Examples
Set the incremental data format of tables created in a user tenant to
