These properties make it possible to delete and insert new values into a B-tree and adjust the tree to preserve the B-tree properties. The root node For example, when there are fewer than L −1 elements in the entire tree, the root will be the only node in the tree with no children at all.
A simple B+ tree example linking the keys 1–7 to data values d 1-d 7. The linked list (red) allows rapid in-order traversal. This particular tree's branching factor is =4. Both keys in leaf and internal nodes are colored gray here. By definition, each value contained within the B+ tree is a key contained in exactly one leaf node.
Database tables and indexes may be stored on disk in one of a number of forms, including ordered/unordered flat files, ISAM, heap files, hash buckets, or B+ trees. Each form has its own particular advantages and disadvantages. The most commonly used forms are B-trees and ISAM.
To turn a regular search tree into an order statistic tree, the nodes of the tree need to store one additional value, which is the size of the subtree rooted at that node (i.e., the number of nodes below it). All operations that modify the tree must adjust this information to preserve the invariant that size[x] = size[left[x]] + size[right[x]] + 1
The B+ tree is a structure for indexing single-dimensional data. In order to adopt the B+ tree as a moving object index, the B x-tree uses a linearization technique which helps to integrate objects' location at time t into single dimensional value. Specifically, objects are first partitioned according to their update time.
A binary tree can be implemented as a list of lists: the head of a list (the value of the first term) is the left child (subtree), while the tail (the list of second and subsequent terms) is the right child (subtree).
Here it states, "A B+ tree can be viewed as a B-tree in which each node contains only keys (not key-value pairs)" II. However, in the B tree article : "In the B+-tree, copies of the keys are stored in the internal nodes; the keys and records are stored in leaves"
This implementation is a hybrid between the basic bitmap index (without compression) and the list of Row Identifiers (RID-list). Overall, the index is organized as a B+tree. When the column cardinality is low, each leaf node of the B-tree would contain long list of RIDs. In this case, it requires less space to represent the RID-lists as bitmaps.
