Index terms autoclassified b tree indexes and cpu caches. B tree indexes informix uses a b tree index for columns that contain builtin data types referred to as a traditional b tree index, columns that contain onedimensional userdefined data types referred to as a generic b tree index, and values that a userdefined data type returns forest of trees indexes a forest of trees index is like a b tree index, but it has multiple root nodes and. Then the leaf blocks can contain more than one row address for the same column value. B trees were invented by rudolf bayer and edward m.
