Abstract

We present a new, pivot based data structure with dynamic capabilities to insert/delete both database elements and pivots. This feature is useful for applications in where the database is not stationary, and the pivots must be changed from time to time. The spaghettis data structure can be thought as a \ at" representation of a tree; but unlike it, a full representation of the distances can be used, instead of discretizing them.
