By variable length, I was talking about each ROW being variable length. I.e, one row is 22 bytes, the next 10, the next 444.
Nothing to do with the number of rows in a table changing. My original post stated: "All entries will be fixed length. Can't really have variable length and use a binary search." Tony Thigpen -----Original Message ----- From: John Gilmore Sent: 10/24/2013 05:51 PM
Tony writes that you just can't binary search a variable length table, and this is certainly true if what he means is that you cannot search a table the length of which changes while you are searching it. You can, however, search a table that varies in length on different occasions. How not? John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA
