The purpose of this paper is to define a storage structure for unnormalized relational databases. In particular, we define a combination of two data structures: conventional record-list structures and a tree storing all the atomic values present in the tuples and sub-tuples of the database. This storage structure allows for efficient execution of updates and queries expressed in the extended relational algebra of the unnormalized relational database model.
