System and method for synchronization of version annotated objects

摘要

Objects in a master database and objects in a replicated database are synchronized using identifiers and version stamps of the objects. Each object has a unique identifier and a version stamp that is incremented when the object is updated at the master database. A synchronization server uses the identifiers and version stamps of objects to perform out-of-date detection and conflict detection. The synchronization server resolves update conflicts according to rules.
