The Impact of Data Structures on Database Performance and Scalability

Abstract:

In the ever-evolving field of computer science, the role of data structures in database management systems (DBMS) cannot be overstated. Efficient data structures have a profound impact on the performance and scalability of modern databases. This article explores the significance of data structures in database systems, their influence on performance metrics, and their ability to handle large-scale data sets. We delve into the classic data structures used in DBMS and also analyze recent trends that have revolutionized the way databases handle data.
