Multikey, extensible hashing for relational databases
Keith Lawrence Kelley, Marek Rusinkiewicz · IEEE Software · 1988
The design and implementation of a multikey, extensible hashing file addressing scheme and its application as an access method for a relational database are presented. This file organization was developed for Request, a testbed relational database-management system. It offers a viable alternative to indexed sequential files. Access operations, concurrency control, and relational operations are examined. Results of an experimental evaluation are reported.>
