What is B+ trees?

In computer science, a B+ tree is a type of tree which represents sorted data in a way that allows for efficient insertion, retrieval and removal of records, each of which is identified by a key. It is a dynamic, multilevel index, with maximum and minimum bounds on the number of keys in each index segment (usually called a 'block' or 'node'). In a B+ tree, in contrast to a B-tree, all records are stored at the lowest level of the tree; only keys are stored in interior blocks.
