Abstract

See full text

A computerized method of building balanced ranges of attribute values for multiple attributes of a database simultaneously without requiring presorting of the database. The balanced ranges are used to construct balanced range-based multidimensional bitmap indexes for processing complex multipredicate queries against the database. A dynamic partition expansion and contraction method can construct balanced ranges for bitmap indexing of tuples having high cardinality attributes and even in the presence of highly skewed data.
