The authors examine thirty low-cost, people-friendly, and environmentally benign appropriate technologies that are concerned with such issues as food preservation, land use, shelter, and transportation. They pay close attention to the practicality of each technique according to affordability, ease of use, and ecological soundness.

Indexing techniques and index structures applied in the transaction-oriented context are not feasible for data warehouses. This work develops specific heuristic indexing techniques which process range queries on aggregated data more efficiently than those traditionally used in transaction-oriented systems. The book presents chapters on: - the state of the art in data warehouse research - data storage and index structures - finding optimal tree-based index structures - aggregated data in tree-based index structures - performance models for tree-based index structures - and techniques for comparing index structures.Lecture Notes in Computer Science,0302-9743 ;1859Information storage and retrievalDatabase managementInformation Storage and Retrievalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18032Database Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18024Information storage and retrieval.Database management.Information Storage and Retrieval.Database Management.658.4/038/0285574Jürgens Marcusauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut555228MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996465374603316Index structures for data warehouses983418UNISA
