> to influence the organization of records on disk so that the most common queries will require very few seeks

might be revealing my lack of knowledge here but what tools/apis etc does one use when they want to work at this level? It seems like a good thing to do but I'd have no idea how to go about it. Enlightenment appreciated.

SQL has a CLUSTER command, for instance. See e.g. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/sql-cluster.h....
