Abstract

In this paper, practical and statistical analysis between B-tree and Buffer tree has been presented. Through this paper, the reader can very well understand, what is the practical implementation of B-tree and Buffer tree, how it gives a solution to the indexing problem in databases, how the communication between internal memory and external memory delays the total I/Os time period, how it can be solved out with adding buffers on every node of the B-tree, and how this batched data structure would give rise to the development to the external algorithms and make a difference in total I/Os and time difference in the program.
