AN EFFICIENT B+-TREE IMPLEMENTATION IN C++ USING THE STL STYLE

Abstract

Database indexes are the search engines for database management systems. The B+-tree is one of the most widely used data structures and provides an efficient index. An efficient implementation is crucial for a B+- tree index. Our B+-tree index is designed to be a container in the style of the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) and implemented efficiently using design patterns and generic programming techniques.
