The Proposed Boost B-tree Library

Explore the world of B-trees and their crucial role in databases, file systems, and disk-resident associate containers in this comprehensive conference talk. Gain insights into the proposed Boost B-tree library, which offers disk-resident B-tree map, multimap, set, and multiset containers. Delve into a brief introduction to B-trees before examining how the proposed library containers relate to C++ standard library associative containers. Discover the actual interface, potential pitfalls, handling of variable length data, and performance considerations. Learn about the current state of the proposed library's implementation and participate in a feedback and discussion session to contribute to its development.
