Abstract

An indexed record locating and counting mechanism quickly returns time critical information to query mechanisms. The amount of time required to return time critical information is linearly bounded by the length of the sequences of symbols or records requested by the query, allowing massively scaled databases to be manipulated quickly and efficiently on a record by record basis.
