Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0184298A1] Improved techniques for storing and accessing data in computer systems (200) are provided. A data packing module (202) suitable for packing data and storing it on a data record (204) is disclosed. The data packing module can store data objects of various types and sizes on the data record. In addition to data associated with each data object, various relationships between data objects can be stored on the data record by the data packing module. A data unpacking module suitable for unpacking data stored on a data record is also disclosed. The data unpacking module can be used to access data associated with data objects as well as various other information stored on the data record. A data accessing interface can be provided to enable access to data stored on the data record. For example, the data accessing interface can be implemented to provide the ability to read data and traverse the data record in both forward and backward directions.
