A data structure, added to a modified form of the B^link-tree data structure, tracks delete states for nodes. The index delete state (D_X) indicates whether it is safe to directly access an index node without re-traversing the B-tree. The D_X state is maintained globally, outside of the tree structure. The data delete state (D_D) indicates whether it is safe to post an index term for a new leaf node. A D_D state is maintained in each level 1 node for its leaf nodes. Delete states indicate whether a specific node has not been deleted, or whether it may have been deleted. Delete states are used to remove the necessity for atomic node splits and chains of latches for deletes, while not requiring retraversal. This property of not requiring a retraversal is exploited to simplify the tree modification operations.

A computer-implemented B-tree structure for information processing. The B-tree structure is used with any storage mechanism that can hold a plurality of data records. The B-tree includes interconnected nodes having a root node, index nodes and leaf nodes. The B-tree structure allows for the data records to be associated with duplicate keys that are stored separate from the leaf nodes.

The invention relates to a parallel data processing method based on a distributed structure. The storing comprises steps as follows: (1) a data master key value is extracted from master nodes according to types of master key values, directed slave nodes distributed by data are determined according to data attribute values and a section comparison result in the master nodes, and simultaneously, a global keyword B+ tree index is established; (2), the data are distributed to the slave nodes corresponding to the master key values according to the global keyword B+ tree index on the basis of a share-nothing principle; and (3), the slave nodes receive a data distributing request, and the data are stored in child nodes locally on the basis of the share-nothing principle. According to the method, an effective index mechanism is combined, and the storage and management efficiency of system data is improved; on one hand, the reasonable data distribution is guaranteed, the storage throughput of the slave nodes is reduced, the local query performance is improved, and the system flexibility is guaranteed by utilizing high expandability of the slave nodes; and on the other hands, local transcript safety is guaranteed through local duplication of multiple transcripts.

Portions of a B-tree index in a database are locked for concurrency control. In one example, hierarchical lock modes are provided that permit locking a key, a gap between the key and the next key, and a combination of the key and the gap. In another example, key range locking may be applied to the B-tree index using locks on separator keys of index nodes. In another example, key range locking may be applied to the B-tree index using locks on key prefixes.

A solid state disk (SSD) caches disk-based volumes in a heterogeneous storage system, improving the overall storage-system performance. The hottest data blocks are identified based on two factors: the frequency of access, and temporal locality. Temporal locality is computed using a logarithmic system time. IO latency is reduced by migrating these hottest data blocks from hard-disk-based volumes to the solid-state flash-memory disks. Some dedicated mapping metadata and a novel top-K B-tree structure are used to index the blocks. Data blocks are ranked by awarding a higher current value for recent accesses, but also by the frequency of accesses. A non-trivial value for accesses in the past is retained by accumulating the two factors over many time spans expressed as a logarithmic system time. Having two factors, access frequency and the logarithmic system time, provides for a more balanced caching system.

The creation of multiple recoverable units within a database allows a database partition to be reconstructed during maintenance and disaster recovery operations. A method of creating a recovery unit includes partitioning a database into at least two recovery units. A primary catalog of metadata relating to the logical elements of a database such as tables, indexes, and file groups is created. A secondary catalog of metadata relating to the physical elements of a database such as pages, files, B-Trees, and log streams is created for each recovery unit. The primary and secondary metadata catalogs are linked such that only one log stream is associated with any one recovery unit. A single recovery unit may then be exercised to perform recovery or maintenance operations while the remaining recovery units of the database remain online.

The invention improves the utilization rate of memory space, and accelerate the speed of data to access.

An optimistic, latch-free index traversal (''OLFIT') concurrency control scheme is disclosed for an index structure for managing a database system. In each node of an index tree, the OLFIT shceme maintains a latch, a version number, and a link to the next node at the same level of the index tree. Index traversal involves consistent node read operations starting from the root. To ensure the consistency of node read operations without latching, every node update operation first obtains a latch and increments the version number after update of the node contents. Every node read operation begins with reading the version number into a register and ends with verifying if the current version number is consistent with the register-stored version number. If they are the same, the read operation is consistent. Otherwise, the node read is retried until the verification succeeds. The concurrency control scheme of the present invention is applicable to many index structures such as the B+-tree and the CSB+-tree.

A multi-table query system utilizes indexes to provide filtering and then obtains the desired data. The multi-table query system reduces excessive data retrieval by minimizing access by multi-table joins to data pages until absolutely necessary in a process of executing the query. The multi-table query system improves runtime performance and minimizes a risk of poor performance if the optimizer of the DBMS incorrectly estimates the filtering and chooses a less than optimal table join sequence. The multi-table query system does not require the implementation of any additional indexing technology for the DBMS. Existing indexing technologies, such as the standard single table B-tree index design can exploit the multi-table query system.

The invention discloses a method for database index, comprising the steps as follows: step A. a B+ tree is established according to the index database; step B. a data structure of the B+ tree in the step A is defined, repeated key assignments are stored in leaf nodes of the B+ tree; step C. index operations are executed, the index operations comprise query operation, insertion operation and deletion operation. The database index method of the invention which uses the B+ tree avoids using overflow nodes as repeatedly appeared key assignments are directly stored in the leaf nodes of the B+ tree; therefore, the method of database index has the advantages of avoiding the spacial waste effectively, reducing the size of the index documents and expanding the application range of the B+ tree when overflow nodes are larger than key assignments and a datasheet has a plurality of repeated key assignments, thus optimizing the database index proposal.

Methods of updating b-tree data structures (e.g., b*tree data structure) using search key insertion and deletion operations proceed from respective known states (e.g., respective canonical forms). These insertion operations include inserting a first search key into the b-tree by reconfiguring (e.g., pre-processing) a plurality of sibling nodes of the b-tree into a predetermined overloaded form having a shape that is independent of a value of the first search key to be inserted therein. An operation is then performed to split the sibling nodes by redistributing the first and other search keys among an expanded plurality of the sibling nodes. These insertion operations use a process that trades off possibly performing additional memory accesses (e.g., to shift search keys (and/or handles or pointers) to the predetermined overloaded form) for the certainty that the same key movements are ultimately performed during operations to split sibling nodes.

A method and system for storing complex graph data. The graph data is represented by triples, quadruples, quintuples, etc. In order to speed up storage and retrieval of graph data, the data is stored in a form of triples, quadruples, quintuples, etc. in a B-tree. The B-trees are data structures that allow operations on dynamic data sets. The operations can be search, search for minimum and maximum values, insert, delete, reference to parent or child directory. The tree can be used as a dictionary or as a prioritized chain. The speed of tree operations is proportional to the height. The data is read as blocks from the same location. If a tree node is moved to an operational memory, an allocated memory block is moved and the operation executes very fast.
