Randy Egan described "frogger" on c.s.i.a.m 10-Sep-1998 as "a term used inside the Rochester hallways to refer to an _access method_ used to position to keys in an index by 'jumping' from one range of key values to the next (just like the frog in the old arcade game call 'Frogger'). I have been on a personal quest trying to remove the usage of that term from any communications outside of the lab." The terminology of course remains in the LIC message. That level of information describes to the DB2 query developer, details about the failing request. And having a name is beneficial to enable discussion about an algorithm, what it effects or how it is failing.

OK, I'll bite. What is the significance of "frogger"? I assume it has
something to do with collision avoidance, but it's also the name of a
pretty neat open source project on sourceforge that doesn't seem to fit
with that???
