Abstract
A method of visually differentiating data retrieved from a distributed database system includes receiving data corresponding to a request to run a query; determining a database on which to run the query; running the query on the appropriate database; generating and displaying a report containing a set of data obtained from the query; and providing a visual indicator on the displayed report to differentiate a data source from which the set of data was retrieved.
Claims17
A method of visually differentiating data retrieved from a distributed database system, comprising:
- receiving data corresponding to a request to run a query;
- determining a database on which to run the query;
- running the query on the appropriate database;
- generating and displaying a report containing a set of data obtained from the query;
- and
- providing a visual indicator on the displayed report to differentiate a data source from which the set of data was retrieved.
A method of visually differentiating data retrieved from a distributed database system, comprising:
- receiving data corresponding to a request to run a query;
- determining a database on which to run the query based on a time period spanning the query;
- running the query on the appropriate database;
- generating and displaying a report containing a set of data obtained from the query;
- and
- providing a visual indicator on the displayed report to differentiate a data source from which the set of data was retrieved, wherein the visual indicator on the displayed report is a background color of a first color when the query is run on a first database, and wherein the visual indicator on the displayed report is a background color of a second color when the query is run on a second database.
A system for visually differentiating data retrieved from a distributed database system, comprising:
- a plurality of member server groups operatively coupled to a network, each of the plurality of member server groups comprising a first plurality of operatively coupled servers including an application server, a master data server and a plurality of replication data servers;
- an administrative server group operatively coupled to the network and to the plurality of member server groups, the administrative server group comprising a second plurality of operatively coupled servers including an application server, a master data server and a plurality of replication data servers;
- the application server at the administrative server group configured to:
- receive data from a user corresponding to a request to run a query;
- determine a database on which to run the query;
- generate and display a report containing a set of data obtained from the query;
- and
- provide a visual indicator on the displayed report to differentiate a data source from which the set of data was retrieved;
- and
- each of the plurality of member server groups configured to run the query on the appropriate database.
