The present invention provides a prefetch system for use with a cache memory associated with a database employing indices. In one embodiment, the prefetch system includes a search subsystem configured to prefetch cache lines containing an index of a node of a tree structure associated with the database. Additionally, the prefetch system also includes a scan subsystem configured to prefetch cache lines based on an index prefetch distance between first and second leaf nodes of the tree structure.
