  • Publication number: 20060136471
    Abstract: A data processing system-implemented method, system and article of manufacture for differential schema migration. A differential schema migration system can include a schema extractor configured both to extract a contemporary schema and corresponding contemporary data from a first connected database and also to generate an intermediately formatted form of the contemporary schema and corresponding contemporary data. The system also can include a schema update user interface configured to facilitate applying changes to the intermediately formatted form of the contemporary schema and corresponding contemporary data. Finally, the system can include a schema differential migrator configured to apply changes to a second connected database based upon a comparison of an extracted schema and corresponding data from the second connected database, and a changed version of the intermediately formatted form of the contemporary schema and corresponding contemporary data.

  • Publication number: 20020065768
    Abstract: A computer system defines a set of electronic catalogs. The catalogs each have an associated contract and each user of the catalogs is associated with a contract. The set of catalogs is represented as a graph. Nodes in the graph represent contracts, catalogs, categories, products and prices. Edges in the graph are labelled with a catalog identifier or a contract identifier. The graph is traversed to display data to the user. The traversal of the graph by a given user is constrained so that the user's contract and catalog matches the edge labelling of the traversal.
