You can have a new type of indexing scheme that can have both dense and sparse index. The only problem with this scheme is that it will make calculations a bit more complex. In numerical, we will need more data like number of dense and sparse index at each level (which in traditional scheme can be computed from previous level). 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.

Not dense. Dense must have a dedicated pointer for every record, duplicated included. 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
