Abstract
Techniques for making a replica of a particular group of database objects on a particular node of a network include receiving, during a transfer period, a first copy of the particular group of objects at the particular node from a first node on the network. The particular node receives, from a second node on the network, data indicating changes to the particular group of database objects on the second node, where the changes indicated in the data are changes that were made at the second node during the transfer period. The first copy of the particular group of database objects is modified based on the data indicating changes.
Claims24
A method for making a replica of a particular group of database objects of a database on a particular node of a network, the method comprising the computer-implemented steps of:
- receiving at the particular node, from a first node on the network, during a transfer period, a first copy of the particular group of database objects;
- receiving, at the particular node, from a second node on the network, data indicating changes to a second copy of the particular group of database objects on the second node, wherein the changes indicated in the data are changes that were made at the second node during the transfer period;
- and
- at the particular node, modifying the first copy of the particular group of database objects based on the data indicating changes.
