1. A method comprising: receiving, by a database from a remote computing system, a query, the database comprising (i) a linear run length encoded compressed column, based on an original column of time series data partitioned into runs containing consecutive values and generated by run length encoding, (ii) a run index comprising at least one run index value having a run index position, the at least one run index value identifying runs in the original column, (iii) an offsets column identifying the run index positions corresponding to the runs that contain a desired value; identifying, by the database using the run index, data responsive to the query; and transmitting, by the database to the remote computing system, the identified data responsive to the query.
