Page Formats
Ultimately, a Page is simply an array of bytes (byte[]).
We want to interpret/manipulate it as a collection of Records.
Typical operations on Pages:
-
request_page(pid) ... get page via its PageId
-
get_record(rid) ... get record via its TupleId
-
rid = insert_record(pid,rec) ... add new record into page
-
update_record(rid,rec) ... update value of specified record
-
delete_record(rid) ... remove a specified record from a page
Note: rid typically contains (PageId,TupIndex), so no explicit pid needed
