Abstract
A method, apparatus and article of manufacture, implementing the method, accesses rows in a range-clustered table in a database management system. A table stores data that is organized into rows and columns. At least one column is designated as a key column. A particular row in the table is accessed based on a relationship between a specified key value and a predetermined range of key values associated with the key column. The table has slots for storing rows, and the slots are organized in accordance with the values of the predetermined range.
