Virtual Machinerys BTree is a set of classes which implement a BTree in Java. These classes give fast access to textually indexed data. Full source code and extensive documentation are provided.

Versions are also available for a number of Smalltalk platforms. Virtual Machinery's BTree classes for J2ME add micro-footprint functionality to your BTree.

Using Sun's Wireless Toolkit application BTrees can be built for small footprint devices (such as Phones and PDAs). In both J2SE and J2ME environments a set of classes is provided which implements read-only BTrees , reducing memory footprint and increasing performance.

g. Novell, MUMPS. They provide rapid access to stored data using textual keys. The B-Tree presented here is in fact a B+Tree - this is distinguished from other B-Trees by its use of two files - one holds the indices and the other holds the indices and data.

The index file is much smaller than the combined total of all the indices since it holds only the first index to each page in the index file.

Main Features- Java and Smalltalk versionsJava version includes code for J2SE and J2ME (phones, Palm OS etc) platforms and for Read-Only BTrees (smaller footprint, faster performance)Reliability - Virtual Machinery's BTree product has been in use in Smalltalk and Java applications since 1990Fast access to textually keyed data (sub-millisecond access on most platforms when index and data are fully cached).

Forward key compression allows use of meaningful keys with reduced space penalty. Individual datasets can hold up to 4Gb of data. Transaction support with commit and rollbackUser defined cache levels for both index and data pages.

Smalltalk and Java versions use same file format allowing each to access datasets created by the other. Design allows for single classes to be substituted e.

g. to use a different type of cache.
