Try the following URL, which (points to a Word document) describing how Oracle works. There is a diagram of how a split works (and one of how it doesn't work).

Hi Cary & List ,

i have been long trying to get a pictorial representation of a simple b-tree index and how it changes as the index grows . Though i read the docs , still i'm not able to say "okay , this is how b-tree index works" .

Has anyone got something like what i'm looking for ?

Just curious to know :
Cary , what does * Nullius in verba * mean ?

Regards,
Prem.
