    This study presents a two-stage name-to-number cross-referencing system. It efficiently handles large databases without reorganization, improving record retrieval.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Science
    • Information Retrieval
    • Database Management

    Background:

    • Efficiently cross-referencing names to numerical identifiers is crucial for database management.
    • Existing methods may struggle with scalability and data growth, necessitating system reorganization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel two-stage process for name-to-number cross-referencing.
    • To demonstrate a scalable database solution that avoids frequent reorganizations.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified Russell-Soundex code is used in the first stage to compute a near-uniform database page address.
    • A best-match algorithm is applied in the second stage to records at the computed address.
    • Match candidates are presented to the user for final selection.

    Main Results:

    • The described two-stage process allows for effective name-to-number cross-referencing.
    • The system has been in use for two years, successfully accommodating a doubling of record entries.
    • No database file reorganization was required despite significant data growth.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed two-stage cross-referencing method is robust and scalable.
    • This approach offers a practical solution for managing and retrieving data in growing databases.
    • The system's efficiency reduces the need for costly and time-consuming database reorganizations.
