Abstract: Among other things, requests are received for tasks to be performed in a database. The tasks include tasks that will cause changes in data of the database and other tasks that must be executed on data in the database that is consistent time-wise. At least some of the data that will be changed by the change-causing tasks comprises data that must remain time-wise consistent for the other tasks. The other tasks are executed in the database while the change-causing tasks are also being executed in the database, without requiring a replication or reconfiguration of the database.
