The needs of these  applications are far more complex than traditional business  applications. They call for support of objects with complex data  types, such as images and spatial objects, and for support of objects  with wildly varying numbers of index terms, such as documents.  Traditional indexing techniques such as the B-tree and its variants do  not efficiently support these applications, and so new indexing  mechanisms have been developed. As a result of the demand for database  support for new applications, there has been a proliferation of new  indexing techniques. \u003cbr\u003e  The need for a book addressing indexing problems in advanced  applications is evident. For practitioners and database and  application developers, this book explains best practice, guiding the  selection of appropriate indexes for each application. For  researchers, this book provides a foundation for the development of  new and more robust indexes. For newcomers, this book is an overview  of the wide range of advanced indexing techniques. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eIndexing Techniques for Advanced Database Systems\u003c\/em\u003e is suitable as  a secondary text for a graduate level course on indexing techniques,  and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792399858\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-6227-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 250\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311633059980,"sku":"9780792399858","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792399858.jpg?v=1771509085","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792399858","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
