Exercise 10.10 Consider the instance of the Students relation shown in Figure 10.22. Show a B+ tree of order 2 in each of these cases below, assuming that duplicates are handled using overflow pages. Clearly indicate what the data entries are (i.e., do not use the k* convention).

  1. A B+ tree index on age using Alternative (1) for data entries.
  2. A dense B+ tree index on gpa using Alternative (2) for data entries. For this question, assume that these tuples are stored in a sorted file in the order shown in Figure 10.22: The first tuple is in page 1, slot 1; the second tuple is in page 1, slot 2; and so on. Each page can store up to three data records. You can use 〈page-id, slot〉 to identify a tuple.
