Abstract: An apparatus for synchronizing data between DBMSs has a first DBMS and a second DBMS. The second DBMS has a storage for persistently storing data items in a form of a storage structure, i.e. database. The second DBMS has also a second data storage for persistently storing data in a form of a sequential order, i.e. a transaction log. The data to be synchronized from the first DBMS to the second DBMS is analysed and based on the analyzing, it is decided how to persistently store the data between the first and the second data storage in the second DBMS. There can be decided how to store the data between the first and the second data storage. The characteristics of the data to be stored may influence on the storage between the first and the second data storage. Thus, the storage depends on the actual data to be stored.

Abstract: A method and system for managing security material and security services, and for securely distributing them in a distributed database system where one or multiple distributed applications operate on distributed data. One database hosted by database server contains master version of the security data of databases hosted by database servers. The database hosted by database server has a global view of the security material for managing security of the other databases. A special database is responsible of providing security services to application database of a database server. The system and method control application programs access to data of a database in a database server, and also facilitates the security management issues of complex database topologies, such as multitier hierarchies or multi-master topologies.

Abstract: The invention is in the area of distributed system and database security. The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for increasing the level of trust between a master and a replica database by allowing the master database to perform an “unpredictable” audit of the replica database whenever deemed appropriate by the master database. The master database may for example define and generate an audit application and send it to at least one replica database using push synchronization and force the replica database to perform the audit application. The master database may also prepare expected results of the audit of the replica database and store them for later verification. After auditing the replica database may synchronize the results of the audit back to the master database for verification. The information flow between the master and replica databases is advantageously encrypted in a secure manner.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to the use of databases. Preferably the invention relates to a method and a system associated with the use of databases with mobile terminals. The objective of this invention is to present a method and a system which allows managing a large dynamically changeable set of applications in the mobile Internet.

Abstract: A management of distributed databases, and a method and an arrangement associated with managing database schemas and configuration of software that uses those schemas. A method and a system, which allows managing database schemas and application software in large distributed multi-database systems and avoiding problems that are related to the prior art systems preferably by using a configuration manager apparatus (231), which is external to the configuration and databases being managed (200) or by providing a mechanism for keeping multiple, possibly different database schemas and application software in synchronization. The external configuration management node (231) manages the configuration management replicas (203, 213, 223) in each part (201, 211, 221) of the distributed database system (200).

Abstract: A method and system is introduced for managing security material and security services, and for securely distributing them in a distributed database system where one or multiple distributed applications operate on distributed data. One database hosted by database server 21 contains master version of the security data of databases hosted by database servers 22 and 23. The database hosted by database server 21 has a global view of the security material for managing security of databases 28, 29. A special database type, a Security Manager (SM), is responsible of providing security services to application database of a database server. This helps to control application programs to access data of a database in a database server. This also facilitates the security management issues of complex database topologies, such as multi-tier hierarchies or multi-master topologies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, arrangement and content router node for database synchronization. Especially the invention relates to synchronization messaging using a content routing mechanism. In particular the invention relates to content routing where data elements are delivered between master and replica databases through a number of content router nodes. The content router node receives the data elements and decides next recipient of the data elements based on the data element and routing information of the current content router node or any of the route's previous content router nodes or the originating database. The content router node may also be arranged to wait a specified wait time for other data elements whose next destination address is the same node as that of the received data elements and if the addresses are same, the content router node aggregates the received data elements into one message.
