Excerpt from The Use of Redundancy to Improve Performance: In an Inverted Hierarchical Data Structure

This paper suggests two techniques for reducing the costs of operating certain database applications that use a hierarchical structure with inversion on low-level fields. These techniques are:

1) introducing "family redundancy," i.e., introducing redundant information into a record that was obtained directly, or through a summarization process, from its "parent," "child," or "sibling records," without altering the structure of the hierarchy, or eliminating fields from any records.

2) incorporating one record level into another.

The paper contains formulas which make explicit the costs and savings associated with each technique. A case study will be presented in which the formulas are used to predict possible savings. The observed performance improvements, following the implementation of these techniques, are reported. These improvements corresponded to those predicted by the formulas.

The case study chosen is a birth defects diagnostic assist system. For this system, these techniques reduced the average costs by approximately eighty percent.
