ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a method and apparatus for searching for and tabulating table-format data that not only has the functions of a conventional data table but also greatly increases the speed of searching for and tabulating large amounts of data. The method for searching for and tabulating table-format data represented as an array of records including fields containing field values for each field according to the present invention comprises: keeping in a storage device, a value control table containing field values in the order of field value numbers corresponding to field values belonging to a specific field, and a field value number-specifying information array containing information that specifies the field value numbers in the order of records, acquiring from the field value number-specifying information array the field value number corresponding to the specific record, and obtaining from the field values stored in the value control table the field value corresponding to the field value number thus acquired.
