Exercise 10.7 Suppose that you have a sorted file and want to construct a dense primary B+ tree index on this file.

  1. One way to accomplish this task is to scan the file, record by record, inserting each one using the B+ tree insertion procedure. What performance and storage utilization problems are there with this approach?
  2. Explain how the bulk-loading algorithm described in the text improves upon this scheme.
