  [h2 "Database Image Traversal and Manipulation"]

     <p class=todo>
       This section should describe exactly how bits and bytes are shifted
       around when the database image is traversed and modified. i.e. how
       a cursor seek is implemented, how the b-tree balancing works, deleting
       an internal cell from an index b-tree etc.
   
    [h3 "B-Tree Insert"]
    [h3 "B-Tree Delete"]
    [h3 "B-Tree Balancing Algorithm"]


     <ul>
       <li><p>The <b>balance deeper</b> sub-algorithm is used when the root page of
           a b-tree is overfull. It creates a new page and copies the
           entire contents of the overfull root page to it. The root page
           is then zeroed and the new page installed as its only child.
           The balancing algorithm is then run on the new child page (in case
	   it is overfull).

       <li><p>The <b>balance shallower</b> sub-algorithm is used when the root page 
           of a b-tree has only a single child page. If possible, the data from
           the child page is copied into the root-page and the child page discarded.

       <li><p>The <b>balance intkey append</b> sub-algorithm is used in a very specific,
           but common scenario. It is used only for table b-trees, when a new entry that
           has a key value greater than all existing keys in the b-tree is inserted and
           causes the right-most leaf page of the b-tree structure to become overfull.

       <li><p>The <b>balance siblings</b> sub-algorithm is run when a b-tree page that
           is not the root-page of its table is either overfull or underfull.



     </ul>

    [h4 "Balance Deeper"]
      <ol>
        <li> Allocate a new page (the child-page).
        <li> Copy page data from root-page to child-page (including overflow cells).
        <li> Fix pointer map entries associated with new child-page content.
        <li> Zero the root-page.
        <li> Set the right-child pointer of the root-page to point to the new child-page.
        <li> Set the pointer map entry for the new child page.
        <li> Execute the balance procedure on the new child page.
      </ol>

    [h4 "Balance Shallower"]

      <ol>
        <li> Copy page data from child-page to root-page.
        <li> Fix pointer map entries associated with new root-page content.
        <li> Move child-page to database image free-list.
      </ol>

      [Figure btreemodule_balance_shallower.svg figure_balance_shallower "Example Balance Shallower Transform"]

    [h4 "Balance Intkey Append"]

      <ol>
        <li> Allocate a new page (the new sibling-page).

        <li> Populate the new sibling page with the new b-tree entry.

	<li> Add a new divider cell to the parent. The divider cell contains a
             pointer to the page that is currently the right-child of the parent.
             The key in the new divider cell is a copy of the largest key in the
             page that is currently the right-child of the parent.

        <li> Set the right-child of the parent page to point to the new sibling page.

	<li> If the database is an auto-vacuum database, set the pointer map
	     entry associated with the new sibling page. If the cell on the new
             sibling page contains a pointer to an overflow page, set the pointer map
	     entry associated with the overflow page.
      </ol>

  [h3 "Page Allocation and Deallocation"]


  [h2 "Transactions and Savepoints"]

     <p class=todo>
       Requirements surrounding how transactions are made atomic and isolated.
       Also how savepoints are implemented. What happens to active cursors after
       a rollback or savepoint-rollback.
