In a first aspect, a first method is provided that includes the steps of (1) providing a pointer that includes a first keytype field and a second keytype field; and (2) assigning a value to the second keytype field of the pointer based on a tabletype field of an updated table. The updated table is an updated version of a first table written in a memory, and the first keytype field of the pointer has a value assigned based on a tabletype field of the first table. The first method further includes the step of employing the second keytype field of the pointer to point to the updated table. Numerous other aspects are provided.
