This book presents a highly efficient, mostly deadlock-free method for multiple users to concurrently search, insert, and delete data from a B-tree database structure. While some concurrent methods for manipulating B-trees already existed, such as the Lehman-Yao algorithm, they suffered severe drawbacks. The approach presented here, based on an elegant mathematical proof method, allows nearly all locking to be localized to a single level of the B-tree. Additionally, the method introduces a novel way of merging nodes, which also helps avoid the tree becoming imbalanced after many deletions. The result is a significant improvement in concurrency, allowing multiple users to access and manipulate the database much more quickly and efficiently than with previous methods. This book is a valuable resource for database system designers, researchers, and students seeking efficient and reliable concurrent database access techniques. Its approach has practical significance for the design of highly scalable database systems.
