Abstract
Conventional access methods cannot be
effectively used in large Scientific/Statistical Database
(SSDB) applications. A file structure (called bit transposed
file) is proposed which offers several attractive
features that are better suited for the special characteristics
that SSDBs exhibit. This file structure is an
extreme version of the (attribute) transposed file. The
data is stored by vertical bit partitions. The bit patterns
of attributes are assigned using one of several
data encoding methods. Each of these encoding
methods is appropriate for different query types. The
bit partitions can also be compressed using a version
of the run length encoding scheme. Efficient operators
on compressed bit vectors have been developed and
form the basis of a query language. In addition to
selective power with low overhead for SSDBs, the bit
transposed file is also amenable to special parallel
hardware. Results from experiments with the file
structure suggest that this approach may be a reasonable
alternative file structure for large SSDBs.
