Abstract
An index can be maintained during a reorganization of data in a database by retaining each root segment, or the prefix component of each root segment, in its storage location during the reorganization. Correction of an index after a reorganization of data in a database can be facilitated by assigning a unique token to each target segment, or the prefix component of each target segment, and each corresponding index entry having an address to a target segment, prior to a reorganization of data. The unique token for a given target segment, or the prefix component for a given target segment, and the unique token for a corresponding index entry are the same. After a reorganization of data in the database, the unique token of a first index entry is read. Then, the unique token of each target segment, or the prefix component of each target segment, is read until a match is found.
