  2. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    To use column-major order in a row-major environment, or vice versa, for whatever reason, one workaround is to assign non-conventional roles to the indexes (using the first index for the column and the second index for the row), and another is to bypass language syntax by explicitly computing positions in a one-dimensional array.

  3. Block Range Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Range_Index

    A Block Range Index or BRIN is a database indexing technique. They are intended to improve performance with extremely large [ i ] tables. BRIN indexes provide similar benefits to horizontal partitioning or sharding but without needing to explicitly declare partitions.

  4. List object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_object

    Let C be a category with finite products and a terminal object 1. A list object over an object A of C is: an object L A, a morphism o A : 1 → L A, and; a morphism s A : A × L A → L A; such that for any object B of C with maps b : 1 → B and t : A × B → B, there exists a unique f : L A → B such that the following diagram commutes:

  5. Block contention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_contention

    To reduce contention for table blocks due to insert statements, increase the number of freelists, or buffer frames. To reduce contention for index blocks the best strategy is to implement a reverse index. In most situations the goal is to spread queries over a greater number of blocks, to avoid concentrating on any single one.

  6. Data structure alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment

    A block of data of size 2 (n+1) − 1 always has one sub-block of size 2 n aligned on 2 n bytes. This is how a dynamic allocator that has no knowledge of alignment, can be used to provide aligned buffers, at the price of a factor two in space loss.

  7. Raising and lowering indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_and_lowering_indices

    This process is called raising the index. Raising and then lowering the same index (or conversely) are inverse operations, which is reflected in the metric and inverse metric tensors being inverse to each other (as is suggested by the terminology): = = =
