Extended Linear Hashing modifies the hash function used by the table as new records are inserted, in order to keep buckets underfull in the steady state. + * Fixed and Variable-Length Records: Stores fixed- or variable-length records in sequential order. Record numbers may be immutable, requiring that new records be added only at the end of the database, or mutable, permitting new records to be inserted between existing records. +EOF |
