Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are provided for retrieving data from a table in a database. According to the method one or more indexes arc generated for use in processing a query by selecting values as unique key values from one or more columns in a table in a relational database system. Each unique key corresponds to a row in the table. The condition of whether a row in a table satisfies a search criterion, is represented by a bit in a bitstring or, in cases where the bitstring is segmented, in a segment of bitstring. The unique keys and corresponding segment of bitstring are then stored in an index.
