  • System and method for providing access to a database during a recovery process
    Patent number: 7801865
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing access to spaces in a database during a recovery process affecting the database. Spaces in the database that are affected by the recovery process are identified and I/O requests sent to a media manager associated with the database are intercepted. If the I/O request is for a read operation to a space affected by the recovery process and the corresponding page has been recovered, the data in the page may be read. If the page has not been recovered, the read operation may be held in a cache until the recovery utility indicates that the page has been recovered. If the I/O request is for a write operation to a space affected by the recovery process, the data may be written to a cache.
