Abstract

A multiple segment data structure and method manage data objects stored in multiple segments. The structure and method use one or more multiple segment index table objects containing defining information about the data objects in which the data are stored, such as the state, index table size, and one or more index tables referencing the data segment objects. The data objects themselves comprise a header, specifying information about the data segment, including a data segment state, and a data section in which data actually are stored. The state fields in the index table object and the data segment objects facilitate the data recovery process.
