- A B-Tree based access method that allows programmers to create, manipulate, and
- retrieve data from indexed files of records. Although C-ISAM maintains separate
- operating system files to store the data and index records, the programmer's
- view of this physical storage is one C-ISAM, indexed file, where records are
- added, deleted, updated, and read. C-ISAM files grow dynamically and re-use all
- space left by deleted records. Advanced C-ISAM features provide automatic or
- manual record level locking, searches by full or partial keys and index value
- compression to suppress trailing blanks and duplicate values.
