DATABASE INTEGRITY IN AN INTERNET E-COMMERCE ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Methods and apparatus for database management among linked computers are disclosed. Generally, data elements are selected and retrieved from databases in one or more linked database computers and placed into memory of a linked access computer. Inputs to the access computer are used to generate proposed changes to one or more of the retrieved data elements. Proposed changes are committed to corresponding database elements in the one or more linked database computers. Database elements so manipulated may be sub-elements of objects, objects, or classes of objects.
