Method and system for synchronizing data between a database system and its client applications

摘要

Systems and methods for synchronizing data between a database system and its client applications are provided. After a regular synchronization, objects' records on a user computing device may be checked against a new sharing rule. Newly shared records may be synced down to the user computing device regardless of timestamps, and all records which the user no longer has access to may be removed from the user computing device. Consequently, data on the user computing device complies with the new sharing rule.

1. A computer-implemented method for synchronizing data between a database system and a client database for a client application on a user computing device, the method comprising:
determining if enhanced synchronization is enabled for a first object, wherein the first object was downloaded to the client database according to a first protocol for accessing the database system; when enhanced synchronization is enabled for the first object, performing a regular synchronization for updating the first object in the client database; and performing the enhanced synchronization according to a second protocol for accessing the database system, wherein the enhanced synchronization comprises:
determining ID of the first object; andquerying the database system for ID of at least one object which should be downloaded to the client database according to the second protocol for accessing the database.
