RE: 1. What is Bitmapped indexes?2. What is b-tree index?
 
B-Tree indexes are usually associated with the index that stores a list of ROWIDs for each key.While Bitmap is also organized as B tree , but the leaf node stores a bitmap for each value instead of a list of ROWIDs. B tree can be used for OLTP while bitmap is used for data warehousing system.
