That is in alignment from what I recall some time ago.
Database engines have gotten much smarter and do a lot which I'm no longer aware of. I recall the days when we packed 8 binary values into one word and masked it to get what we wanted. Obviously won't work with numeric values but shows the lengths we were taught to do in the infancy of software. And magic which can occur behind the scenes is often of no concern to programmers now. I recall when something termed "Rushmore" techniques were used to speed indexed services after the first reference.
