Hi Andi, according to my knowledge, there is a forest about the multi-dimensional indexing in database. Forest here means a lot tree based methods. R tree is just the beginning. In 1997, Katayama gave the SR tree indexing. According to my test, it does outperformed R tree in most cases. So if you want to compare UB-tree ( I have no idea of this) with some-other-tree, at least you should choose SR tree. There may better tree based indexing than SR tree, just go to www.researchindex.com to see who cites Katayama's paper and find out the better trees.
