Solution

It seems like you're asking for explanations of different types of index structures used in databases. Here they are:

  1. Inverted Index: This is a data structure used to make full text search more efficient. It's called an "inverted" index because it inverts a page-centric data structure (page->words) to a keyword-centric data structure (word->pages). It's commonly used in search engines.

  2. Bitmap Index: This type of index uses bitmaps and is most effective in databases with a large amount of data, in situations where the data has a limited number of distinct values. Each bitmap index uses a bit for each possible row. The bit is set to 1 if the row contains the value for the index.

  3. Clustered Index: A clustered index determines the physical order of data in a table. Because of this, a table can only have one clustered index, but multiple non-clustered indexes. The leaf nodes of a clustered index contain the data pages of the table.

  4. Join Index: This is a proprietary Teradata extension to ANSI SQL. A join index allows the user to create an index on the result of a join operation, thus significantly improving the performance of some types of queries.

Each of these index structures has its own use cases and can significantly improve the performance of database operations when used correctly.
