  • Method and system for broadcasting and querying a database using a multi-function module
    Patent number: 5530939
    Abstract: A broadcast database system module (300) is disclosed having a processor (310) and a memory subsystem (320). The processor (310) and memory subsystem (320) of the broadcast database system module (300) can cooperate to provide all functions of a broadcast database system (200, 400) such as the pump function, data filter function, database mirror function, snapshot function, etc. The memory subsystem (320) can transfer attribute information of broadcasted tuples to the processor (310) and the processor (310) can execute queries against the attribute information of tuples. Alternatively or additionally, the memory subsystem (320) stores all or part of a database and broadcasts all or part of this database information stored therein. Likewise, the processor (310) can maintain a database stored in the memory subsystem (320) according to instructions to add information to, delete information from, or modify information in, the database.
