Well, this is more or less the solution propossed in the patent's text: to reserve room for expasion in new allocated blocks and to periodically reorganize the old blocks in order to have room for expansion. Nightly reorganizations for instance.

But I choosed a different approach based on paged BTrees (Perhaps I should patent it :).

It is not more complicated, we don't have the problem of ocasional exhausted room, periodical reorganizations are no longer needed and the use of memory is more efficient.

Yes, but unfortunately I am having important financial problems to finish it :(. It is not easy to find support for something like this in a semi-developed country :(

No, but it is still a prototype.
