This seems like a really small article describing a few straightforward variants of the B-tree data structure. I think it would be better merged into the B-tree article and rewritten as a section on variants of the B-tree structure.

I agree that the B*-tree is a special form of the B-tree and could be merged into the latter one. Sae1962 (talk) 07:52, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect citation and explanations

This page confuses the B*-tree used in the floorplan design and the variant of B-tree. The first citation by Chang et al. is actually for the very popular B*-tree in the floorplanning area. It is defined as an ordered binary tree to model a compacted placement of blocks (objects), which is totally different from the variant of B-tree.
