  • Patent number: 8880553
    Abstract: Techniques are described for data redistribution. Embodiments store a first set of receiver location identifiers mapped to a document identifier and assigned to a first set of receiver locations storing relational data referencing the document identifier. Embodiments store a second set of receiver location identifiers mapped to the document identifier and assigned to a second set of receiver locations storing document data corresponding to the document identifier referenced by the relational data. Sender index keys are received separately from the relational data and the document data, the sender index keys referencing the document identifier and containing sender location identifiers. Embodiments determine, from the first set of receiver location identifiers and the second set of receiver location identifiers, which receiver location identifiers are mapped to the document identifier referenced by the sender index keys.

  • Patent number: 8543600
    Abstract: Techniques are described for data redistribution in a database system. Embodiments store a first set of receiver location identifiers mapped to a document identifier, the first set of receiver location identifiers assigned to a first set of receiver locations storing relational data referencing the document identifier. Embodiments further store a second set of receiver location identifiers mapped to the document identifier, the second set of receiver location identifiers assigned to a second set of receiver locations storing document data corresponding to the document identifier referenced by the relational data. Sender index keys are received separately from the relational data and the document data, the sender index keys referencing the document identifier and containing sender location identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20020174034
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer implemented instructions for processing commercial transactions of a user over a large geographic area. The system for processing commercial transactions includes a network, and one or more primary computing nodes connected to the network and a plurality of secondary computing nodes connected to the network in which each of the plurality of secondary computing nodes being associated with one of the plurality of geographic sites. The system also includes product inventories in which the product inventories are associated with one of the geographic sites. A catalog of products identifying the product inventories is present. One or more primary computing nodes notifies the secondary computing nodes of the catalog. A user contacts a first node from the plurality of secondary computing nodes. The user may purchase or place a product order with the first node with the “first node” forwarding the order to one or more primary computing nodes.
