  2. Database index - Wikipedia

    A database index is a data structure that improves the speed of data retrieval operations on a database table at the cost of additional writes and storage space to maintain the index data structure. Indexes are used to quickly locate data without having to search every row in a database table every time said table is accessed.

  3. Bitmap index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmap_index

    The internal bitmap is discarded after the query. If there are too many rows in the table to use 1 bit per row, a "lossy" bitmap is created instead, with a single bit per disk page. In this case, the bitmap is just used to determine which pages to fetch; the filter criteria are then applied to all rows in matching pages.

    Index is a full index so data file does not have to be ordered; Pros and cons versatile data structure – sequential as well as random access; access is fast; supports exact, range, part key and pattern matches efficiently. volatile files are handled efficiently because index is dynamic – expands and contracts as table grows and shrinks

  5. Relational database - Wikipedia

    An index is one way of providing quicker access to data. Indices can be created on any combination of attributes on a relation . Queries that filter using those attributes can find matching tuples directly using the index (similar to Hash table lookup), without having to check each tuple in turn.

    In many Type 2 and Type 6 SCD implementations, the surrogate key from the dimension is put into the fact table in place of the natural key when the fact data is loaded into the data repository. [1] The surrogate key is selected for a given fact record based on its effective date and the Start_Date and End_Date from the dimension table.
