When an update is made to a data record in a distributed, replicated data processing system, the update is first applied to a primary copy of the data record before being applied to any other copy to ensure that updates are applied in the correct time sequence. Responsibility for the primary copy is transferrable to whichever processor in the system requires most frequent update access, providing improved performance and availability of data. The primary copy may be partitioned and distributed across the system. <IMAGE> |
