A B+-Tree-Based Indexing and Storage of Numerical Records in School Databases

Abstract

The need for effective indexing and retrieval of data is paramount in any contemporary organization. However, the use of tree data structure had been effective in this regard as evident in literature. This article gives an overview of B+-tree data structure, its indexing technique and application in indexing and retrieving students’ academic records in the school system in order to make such records flexible. The study demonstrates the indexing and arrangement patterns of some numerical data. In essence, it discusses how to adopt the use of B+-tree data structure to manage some numerical data in order to enhance indexing, retrieval and modifications of such record. It concludes that good record management results in more convenient indexing and retrieval of students’ academic records within the school system.
