Talk:Index (information technology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This thing could expand almost ad infinitum with an expansive survey of all the different index designs known to Computer Science and discussion of the trade-offs applicable to each, but I think I've taken it far enough to remove the stub marker. If you disagree, put it back, or even better, grow it. Tim Bray 08:14, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Should this page be split? There is a page Search index redirecting here. This could also maybe be called Index structure. I have no clue on a good name for the Array element identifier part. Having only one meaning of a phrase on a page makes it much easier to put it into categories. Nils Grimsmo 11:24, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Maybe Array index and Index structure are good names? The former is used in DADS, and the latter is a frequently used term (200K hits on Google). Nils Grimsmo 17:26, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
