btree |
1 definition found From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: B-treeA multi-way {balanced tree}. The B" in B-tree has never been officially defined. It could stand for balanced" or "Bayer", after one of the original designers of the algorithms and structure. A B-tree is _not_ (necessarily?) a "{binary tree}". A B+-tree (as used by {IBM}'s {VSAM}) is a B-tree where the leaves are also linked sequentially, thus allowing both fast {random access} and sequential access to data.
