ABSTRACT:
A database management and access system is described which provides dynamic key space allocation to one or more pages of the database as records are added to the database. The database management and access system includes a page access subsystem and a record access subsystem to facilitate record access by incorporating an order preserving, linear hashing function for cluster preservation and using empty page flags and overflow page flags to decrease range query time latencies of the database.
