Thanks a lot. The MAL I have still doesn't make sense, but I will work on it.

Data of each column are stored in three BATs.  You can only bind to one BAT at a time.
The value of 'access' determines to which BAT you want to bind. RDONLY (==0): the already persistently stored column data; RD_INS (==1): all data that have been inserted, but not yet committed; RD_UPDATE (==2): I think this one should contain all data that have been delete, but not yet committed. But I'm not completely sure, since there is also something called delta-BAT (dbat), which has something to do with updates...
