Abstract
A node container is constructed with multiple binary tree views. A processing device creates a primary view binary tree within the node container based on a primary key. A set of records that match fields of the primary key is chained to the primary view. The processing device also creates one or more alternate views within the node container to allow access to the same set of records via one or more alternate keys, which are subsets of the fields of the primary key. The chain of records is extracted from the node container when matched to a subsequent query search.
