Patent

CA 2383713

The invention herein provides method and apparatus for managing attribute- tagged index entries contained in an index by assigning or tagging an index entry attribute indicator to a newly inserted index entry (that is, at the time when a key data value is inserted into the index, the key data value becomes a newly inserted index entry and an attribute indicator is tagged to the newly inserted index entry). The index entry can be placed anywhere within the index. Once a group of attribute-tagged index entries have been inserted into the index, the attribute identifiers can be switched off instantaneously (that is, the attribute associated with the attribute indicators is disabled). For example, an attribute identifier can be used to defer accessibility of appropriately attribute-tagged index entries until a predetermined time later when the attribute can be disabled and thus allow users to access the attribute-tagged index entries without having to remove the attribute indicators from the index).
