Title

Utilization Of Character Reference Locality For Efficient Storage Of Data Base.

Abstract

This paper describes an efficient character encoding method based on practically observed properties of character occurrences within files. The method is specially designed for the encoding of files containing both numeric and alphabetic fields. It is therefore particularly attractive for the storage of many large database files, encountered in practice, which are amenable to statistical analysis. The technique of using m-grams is also incorporated to enhance the compression efficiency. Numerical tests have given favorable results for the proposed method.
