Abstract
We add dynamic capabilities to PATRICIA, the only known sublinear searching algorithm for text databases on secondary storage. This we do by giving constant-time insertion and deletion algorithms for the PATRICIA index and by storing the text on conventional database structures, namely B-trees. We discuss the application of dynamic PATRICIA to an editor for large texts on secondary storage.
