  • Patent number: 7047258
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for validating remote database updates over a network. A local database record and a remote database record may be compared and exceptions may be generated. Each exception may describe a discrepancy between the remote and local database records. An exception identifier may be associated with each exception, where the exception identifier may be associated with an identifier of the record. An event identifier may be associated with each event in the update, where the event identifier may be associated with an identifier of the record. The events and exceptions that correspond to the record may be compared to determine whether the update is valid.
