Abstract: A system and method are provided for the recovery and restoration of software records of a database server to record iterations previous to the current state of the selected records. This action may be taken in order to overcome the consequences of database corruption. An event-time maybe designated which is applied to select some or all of the earlier but most recent versions of each selected record. The system and method presented include a local target database for the purpose of recording software records to an archive, and may include a remote source database, from which records may be transmitted to the local target database. A restore command may be detected by the database server as sent from the remote source server, as received in an electronic message, as received via an electronics communications network, or as directly input.

Abstract: A system and method enable the modification of software data queries for the purpose of overcoming the problem of large, cumbersome data queries. The method and system presented includes a client device, which may split a software data query into segments representing a fraction of the original query size, and submit the divided data query to a remote server. The division of the initial query may continue until the query size is usable by the remote server. The remote server may receive the segmented query, and transmit database records associated with the fields in the divided query to the client device. Further segments of the divided query may be transmitted until the full query has been transmitted to the remote server. The divided queries may include date time stamp bounds to determine the desired database records. A computing device created specifically for the above-listed tasks may be utilized.

Abstract: A system and method enable the selection of a time range of database records for download from a source database source and for transfer to a recipient database. A specifically bounded time period is selected to limit the number of data records selected for download in a particular action to those records that are individually associated with date time stamp values falling within the specified time period. This limitation of records selected for inclusion in a download process to data records having associations with date time stamps falling within a limited time range reduces a likelihood of overload in transferring data and thereby reduces the incidence of time-outs in the communication of a source database, any intermediary server or software action, and the recipient database in an updating of the recipient database to reflect a current state of the source database.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for integrating applications with a network service application is provided. A database management system automatically updates a local database of a computer with information contained within a remote database and an application is enabled to generate a new record in the local database with temporary values in the relationship fields such that the child records are logically related to one or more parent records by virtue of having the same relationship values. A new record is created by the web service for the parent record. When a changed value of the parent record's key is detected, a value of the key of relevant changed parent record is written into one or more local related record's relationship field.

Abstract: A method for bi-directional data replication between a Web Service application and a relational database are provided. In an electronic communications network, a computer implemented method is provided for generating indexes of relationship fields by accessing the metadata of a remote web service. A plurality of records may be downloaded from the remote web service to a computer. The plurality of records may include metadata related to the identity of data fields involved in parent-child record relationships. An index may be built at least partially on the data fields involved in parent-child relationships.
