The main advantage of columnar databases over row-oriented ones is their **faster performance**; this is due in large part to them accessing less memory to output data. This column structure can store more data in a smaller amount of memory. And because the initial data retrieval is done on a column-by-column basis, only the columns that need to be used are retrieved. This grants columnar databases like **Cassandra DB** their ability to scale efficiently and handle large amounts of data.
