Abstract: Consistency of replicated data copies with statement-based replication is provided without requiring transaction serializability. At a subordinate replication node, a transaction start message, replicated data modification statements, and a transaction commit message are received for a next committed transaction from a master replication node, wherein the transaction start message carries a master transaction identifier, an invisibility list consisting of identifiers of other master transactions that had started and not yet committed when this master transaction started, and an earliest invisible master transaction identifier. The master transaction identifier, invisibility list, and earliest invisible transaction identifier are mapped to subordinate transaction identifiers to preserve an order of transaction identifiers from the master replication node.

Abstract: A metadata repository for use in an integrated development environment is provided. The metadata repository is layered to define levels of common behaviour useful to different types of application development tools. The most general use tools have access to metadata at the level of simple constructed types; more specialised tools have access to components that contain properties of a target language; highly specialised tools have access to composed partitionable part metadata that can be used for constructing distributed applications.
