Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for a database are provided. One database embodiment includes a set of executable instructions operable on the database. One or more database partitions are provided, each having a defined key range. The set of executable instructions is operable to reverse octets in variable length keys. A last digit in an odd-length key value, plus a pad, is placed in a dedicated octet to partition the variable length keys in the one or more database partitions.
