Indexing techniques for historical databases
Curtis P. Kolovson, Michael R Stonebraker · 2003
Two indexing structures based on R-trees are proposed for historical data, which can span magnetic disk and optical disk media. The performance of these indexes is compared to that of two other indexing candidates that are each contained entirely on one medium. Test results indicate that the proposed indexes perform well when compared to an index that is contained entirely on optical disk. >
