INDEX FOR MULTI-LEVEL DATA STRUCTURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320204 titled 'INDEX FOR MULTI-LEVEL DATA STRUCTURES
The abstract of the patent application describes techniques for indexing metadata to access multi-level data structures efficiently. A computer system manages a database with records and keys, creating multi-level data structures for key range lookups. Index metadata is generated to specify key information and locations of the data structures, enabling key range lookups using this metadata.
- The computer system maintains a database with records and keys.
- Multi-level data structures are created to facilitate key range lookups.
- Index metadata is generated to specify key information and locations of the data structures.
- Key range lookups are performed using the index metadata.
- The system efficiently accesses multi-level data structures for key range lookups.
Potential Applications: - Database management systems - Information retrieval systems - Data indexing and searching applications
Problems Solved: - Efficient access to multi-level data structures - Improved key range lookup performance - Enhanced database query capabilities
Benefits: - Faster key range lookups - Improved database query efficiency - Enhanced data retrieval speed
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Database Indexing Technology for Improved Query Performance" This technology can be used in various commercial applications such as: - E-commerce platforms for faster product searches - Financial institutions for quick data retrieval - Healthcare systems for efficient patient record management
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve database query performance?
- This technology enhances query performance by efficiently accessing multi-level data structures.
2. What are the potential applications of this indexing metadata technique?
- The potential applications include database management systems, information retrieval systems, and data indexing applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques are disclosed relating to index metadata that is usable for accessing multi-level data structures. a computer system may operate a database, including maintaining a set of records having a set of corresponding keys. the computer system may create multi-level data structures that facilitate key range lookups against those records. a given multi-level data structure may store key information indicative of a subset of the corresponding keys. the computer system may create separate index metadata that is usable for accessing the multi-level data structures. the index metadata may specify indications of key information that is stored in the multi-level data structures and locations of the multi-level data structures. the computer system may perform a key range lookup that includes using the index metadata to determine a particular set of the multi-level data structures whose key information corresponds to a key range of the key range lookup.
