I think of Hash Table or Tries

but the space required by them will be very large

Which language are you using? The answer will be different for each.

C/C++
There is no such language, are you using C or C++?

Yes
Technically the answer is perfect... Like 'excuse me, do you know what
time is it?', answer 'yes'.

ternary search tree is the best

No it won't. Algorithms are independent of the language they are
implemented in. Making the post strictly non-topical, though I think we
are maybe being too strict in rejecting all algorthmic questions.
Yes it will, the OP asked which *data structure* would be best.

I have an application which makes extensive use of the Scripting.Dictionary object. I'm not doing anything silly like putting them outside the page scope -- just creating quite a few of them and stuffing quite a lot of data (from and MS SQL database) into them.

Hi all, Suppose I want to implement a dictionary data structure of some kind, say using a simple BST. I'm wondering how to express the basic operations in the nicest manner. Especially the operations FIND, INSERT and DELETE. I'm aware of the way STL does it, but I don't want to use iterators. The dictionary has a key/value structure:

What is the best way to handle updates in databases with each release of a software package? I used to work on an accounting package in FoxPro that had a "Data Dictionary" and as your code required changes to the database per release, you'd update the Data Dictionary. When you wanted to create a new database, it would create it completely from the data dictionary. If you already had a functional database and the new release required...

I want to store small collections of objects that have a unique id string:"Name", so I opted to use a Dictionary<string,MyObject> collection. However, since my collection will rarely exceed 10 or 12 items, would I be better of just using a regular List<MyObjectand looping through the Names to find an object? I know it's probably splitting hairs from a performance standpoint, but I'm curious from a theoretical standpoint. Jordan

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
