Abstract
A method for processing a primary data record, a spatial tree index and a plurality of time tree indexes is described. The method includes writing the primary data record to a primary data table, determining whether a spatial tree leaf node including location data exists and, if not, generating a spatial tree leaf node including the location data, and creating or updating spatial tree nodes connecting the spatial tree leaf node to a spatial tree root node. For spatial tree nodes including the location data, updating a respective time tree index by determining whether a time tree leaf node including time data exists and, if not, generating a time tree leaf node including the time data, and creating or updating time tree nodes connecting the time tree leaf node to a time tree root node. The time tree leaf node updated to include a pointer to the primary data record.
