ISAM?

From the RDBMS world, a kind of index I think, or something along
those lines.  MySQL for example has a type of table called MyISAM.
Index Sequential Access Method
Invented by IBM in the '60s, provides fast random access to single 
records and then allows for sequential access to the following records 
in sorted order.  It is very similar to the perl 5 sorted hashs.
