Btrees btrees are balanced search trees designed to work well on magnetic disks or other directaccess secondary storage devices. It should be noted that unlike hashing, search trees demand that the characters used in the document collection have a prescribed ordering. But its not practical to hope to store all the rows in the table one after another, in sorted order, because this requires rewriting the entire table with. So before working with indexes, it is important to understand how indexes work behind the scene and what is the data structure that is used to store these indexes, because unless you understand the inner working of an index, you will never be able to fully harness its power.
