Restoring of a database table in the database system (e.g., an in-memory insert-only database system, etc.) is initiated. Thereafter, a transaction log volume storing data log records and multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) log records corresponding to the database table is accessed. Based on such access, data log records corresponding to the database table are replayed while insert and update MVCC log records corresponding to the database table are skipped. Subsequently, restoring of the database table in the database system is finalized. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
