Advanced database indexing

de Yannis Manolopoulos, Yannis Theodoridis, Vassilis J. Tsotras

"Advanced Database Indexing begins by introducing basic material on storage media, including magnetic disks, RAID systems and tertiary storage such as optical disk and tapes. Typical access methods (e.g. B[superscript +] trees, dynamic hash files and secondary key retrieval) are also introduced. The remainder of the book discusses recent advances in indexing and access methods for particular database applications."--BOOK JACKET. "Advanced Database Indexing is an excellent reference for database professionals and may be used as text for advanced courses on the topic."--BOOK JACKET.
