With the multidimensional binary +tree it is possible to mathematically prove that access time to any +particular record is minimized (using the concept of critical points from +calculus), which provides the means to construct optimized databases for +particular applications. + +(From: doc/html/DBH.html) +Disk Based Hashtables (DBH) 64 bit ? Library to create and manage hash +tables residing on disk. Associations are made between keys and values +so that for a given a key the value can be found and loaded into memory +quickly. Being disk based allows for large and persistent hashes. 64 bit +support allows for hashtables with sizes over 4 Gigabytes on 32 bit +systems. Quantified key generation allows for minimum access time on +balanced multidimensional trees. |
