  • Patent number: 9836360
    Abstract: A system includes reception of a command to recover a database to a point in time, determining a log backup which covers the point in time, determination of a sequence identifier associated with the log backup, collection of log backups which are older than the determined log backup and associated with the sequence identifier, and a data backup associated with the sequence identifier, and execution of a recovery of the database based on the determined log backup and the collected log backups and data backup.

  • Patent number: 9785516
    Abstract: A method, medium, and system to receive a request to remove a service of an instance of a distributed database system; redistribute data of the service to be removed to at least one remaining service of the distributed database system; save unsaved log segments of the service to be removed in a log backup; register removal of the service to be removed with the distributed database system; delete an entry of the service to be removed from a startup configuration of the distributed database system; halt operation of the service to be removed; and remove the halted service from internal topology information of the distributed database system.

  • Patent number: 9619506
    Abstract: A method, medium, and system to receive a request to perform a log recovery to restore multiple database services; determine log backup entries corresponding to a target log position for a first database service of the multiple database services; read from a sequential stream device, by the first database service, the log backup entries corresponding to the target log position for the first database service; inform a second database service of the multiple database services that the first database service has concluded executing the log backup entries corresponding to the target log position for the first database service from the sequential stream device; assuring that no resources of the streaming device are blocked by the first database service; and read log backup entries of the second database service corresponding to a target log position for the second database service from the sequential stream device.
