10.2.3 Choice of Block Size The block size should be large enough minimize the number of blocks in the x file. The block size should be small enough to allow several blocks to be held in memory at x the same time. The block size should be small enough to allow "quick" access The x x block size should be small enouth to be read without an internal seek. x The cluster (ALU) size is often a good choice. 10.3 Adding a Simple Index to the Sequence Set index set The index of a B+ tree, organized as a B-tree. B+ tree
