tableBASE handles tables as data structures resident in main memory (within data spaces). It offers a memory-management system that is optimized for table structures resulting in high performance and easy maintenance.
tableBASE integrates memory management capabilities lacking in many programming languages. It provides:
- Automatic table load/unload facilities
- Efficient main-memory data organizations
- A variety of high performance search methods
- Dynamic runtime expansion of allocated table space
- Dynamic runtime reorganization of tables
- High performance Index structures
- Dynamic runtime Index creation and modification
- Dynamic runtime Alternate Indexes.
