Abstract
A system, method, and data structure are delineated for use in data storage and retrieval. An array of records stored in shared memory contains data entries, and associated hash codes computed from a predetermined hash function. A search request, consisting of one or more data entries, uses the same hash function to generate user codes. The records are searched to find one with hash codes that equal the user codes. This search involves comparisons of native data type entry, which are much faster than character string comparisons. Only after a record is identified with hash codes matching the user codes will a more time-consuming comparison be made between the selected record and the respective data entries of the search request.
