The "heart and soul" of almost all relational database programs is
the B-Tree algorithm. In fact may programmers describe a relational
database as a B-Tree program with supporting code that simply
delivers the query to the B-Tree or displays the results from the
B-Tree. The beauty of this book is that it describes in great
detail with lots of diagrams and charts exactly how a B-Tree works.
It is one of the clearest explanations on the subject existing and
is extremely useful for any person or classroom that is
investigating databases. The number of illustrations in this book
are too numerous to list. Diagrams are given showing every major
step taken in writing a B-Tree. The diagrams also show exactly how
searches are done. Flow charts are also presented showing how the
B-Tree algorithm works. Tables are presented showing the
performance of the B-Tree. Code is listed for an entire B-Tree
program written in simple DOS based BASIC and it is inspected and
laboriously explained line-by-line.
