- 2. © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved 15 B-2 B-Trees • To organize the index file as an external search tree – Use block numbers for child pointers • A child pointer value of –1 is used as the null pointer Figure 15.10a –Figure 15.10a – Blocks organized into a 2-3 tree
- 3. © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved 15 B-3 B-Trees • If the index file is organized into a 2-3 tree – Each node would contain • Either one or two index records, each of the form <key, pointer> • Three child pointers Figure 15.10b –Figure 15.10b – A single node of the 2-3 tree
- 4. © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved 15 B-4 B-Trees • An external 2-3 tree is adequate, but an improvement is possible • To improve efficiency – Allow each node to have as many children as possible • In an external environment, the advantage of keeping a search tree short far outweighs the disadvantage of performing extra work at each node • Block size should be the only limiting factor for the number of children
- 5. © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved 15 B-5 B-Trees • Binary search tree – If a node N has two children, it must contain one key value • 2-3 tree – If a node N has three children, it must contain two key values • General search tree – If a node N has m children, it must contain m – 1 key values

- 7. © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved 15 B-7 B-Trees • B-tree of degree m – All leaves are at the same level – Nodes • Each node contains between m – 1 and m/2 records • Each internal node has one more child than it has records • Exception: The root can contain as few as one record and can have as few as two children – Example • A 2-3 tree is a B-tree of degree 3 – Each node contains between (3-1) = 2 and 3/2 = 1 records.

All rights reserved 15 B-17 Traversals • Accessing only the search key of each record, not the data file – Not efficiently supported by the hashing implementation – Efficiently supported by the B-tree implementation • The search keys can be visited in sorted order by using an inorder traversal of the B-tree • Accessing the entire data record – Not efficiently supported by the B-tree implementation
- 18. © 2004 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved 15 B-18 Multiple Indexing • Advantage – Allows multiple data organizations • Disadvantage – More storage space – Additional overhead for updating each index whenever the data file is modified

- 20. Chi-Cheng Lin, Winona State University 20 Variations of B-Trees • The fewer nodes are in a B-tree, the better. (Why?) • Problems of B-tree: – It could be only half full • More nodes required • Space wasted – Inorder traversal “jumps” around nodes • B* -Trees: introduced by Donald Knuth • B+ -Trees: introduced by H. Wedekind
- 21. Chi-Cheng Lin, Winona State University 21 B* -Trees • B* -tree of degree m – All leaves are at the same level – Nodes • Each node contains between m – 1 and (2m – 1)/3 records • Each internal node has one more child than it has records • Exception: The root can contain as few as one record and as many as (2m-2) children – Example • B* -tree of degree 9 – Each node contains between (9 – 1) = 8 and (2×9 – 1)/3 = 5 records.
- 22. Chi-Cheng Lin, Winona State University 22 B* -Trees • Splitting nodes – When a node overflows, it is not split right away – A split is delayed by redistributing the keys between a node and its sibling – When both a node and its sibling are full, an insertion to the node will split the two nodes into three nodes • A B*-Tree is always two-third full instead of half full number of nodes in the tree is reduced

- 24. Chi-Cheng Lin, Winona State University 24 B+ -Trees • References to data are only made from the leaves – All index records can be found from the leaves • Two sets of nodes – Index set • Internal nodes • Provides fast access of data – Sequence set • Leaves, linked sequentially • Provides efficient inorder traversal
