The conversation between human and AI assistant.
What are the differences between a B-tree and a B+ tree?
What are some of the main differences between the two?
Well, B+ trees are a variation of B-trees that are optimized for systems that read and write large blocks of data. B+ trees have all data stored in the leaf nodes, while B-trees can have data in both internal and leaf nodes. This makes B+ trees faster for operations like sequential searching, where you need to read large blocks of data at once.
