ABSTRACT:
A data base is created by storing a plurality of data objects in a memory. Each data object has attributes including a key value and a data value. The data objects are partitioned into a plurality of classes, each class having one or more members, each member including the same attributes of the data objects. An access method is defined for at least one member of a specific class to access the data objects of the specific class by key values. For another member of the specific class, an access method to access the data objects of a related class is defined. A specific data value of a specific data object is compared with the key values of the data objects of the related class, and if the specific data value is equal to the key value of a related data object a memory address of the related data object is associated with the specific data value.
