20100274768 | DE-DUPLICATION AND COMPLETENESS IN MULTI-LOG BASED REPLICATION - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to multi-log based replication. In aspects, database fragments are associated with different logs. Each change to a duplicated database record may be recorded in multiple logs. A history data structure is used to determine when duplication schemas are valid. A duplication schema indicates what database fragments duplicate one or more database records. For a particular time range, the duplication schema history is used to determine whether currently available logs include all changes. If multiple logs include the same change, one log may be selected to provide the change. Non-duplicative changes may be placed into a single data stream usable to update a remote database. | 10-28-2010 |
20110251997 | LOGICAL REPLICATION IN CLUSTERED DATABASE SYSTEM WITH ADAPTIVE CLONING - Architecture that addresses an end-to-end solution for logical transactional replication from a shared-nothing clustered database management system, which uses adaptive cloning for high availability. This can be time based using a global logical timestamp. The disclosed architecture, used for refreshing stale clones, does not preserve user transaction boundaries, which is a more complex situation than where the boundaries are preserved. In such a scenario it is probable that for a given data segment no clone of the segment may contain the complete user transaction history, and hence, the history has to be pieced together from the logs of multiple different clones. This is accomplished such that log harvesting is coordinated with the clone state transitions to ensure the correctness of logical replication. | 10-13-2011 |
