What are the differences between B trees and B+ trees?

Question

In a b-tree you can store both keys and data in the internal and leaf nodes, but in a b+ tree you have to store the data in the

Answer 1

The primary distinction between B-tree and B+tree is that B-tree eliminates the redundant storage of search key values.Since search keys are not repeated in the B-tree,we may not be able to store the index using fewer tree nodes than in corresponding B+tree index.However,since search key that appear in non-leaf nodes appear nowhere else in B-tree,we are forced to include an additional pointer field for each search key in a non-leaf node. Their are space advantages for B-tree, as repetition does not occur and can be used for large indices.
