摘要

B-trees have become, de facto, a standard for file organization. File indexes of users, dedicated database systems, and general-purpose access methods have all been proposed and nnplemented using B-trees This paper reviews B-trees and shows why they have been so successful It discusses the major variations of the B-tree, especially the B+-tree, contrasting the relatwe merits and costs of each implementatmn. It illustrates a general purpose access method whmh uses a B-tree.
