Abstract

See full text

Database tables may be created in a modular fashion and maybe efficiently merged together. Differences between various versions of software products also be recorded in database transforms. The database transforms can then be applied to a prior installation database, so as to upgrade the prior installation database. In this manner, enhancements, patches, upgrades, custom installations, can be applied in modular fashion without the need to ship an entire modified installation database. Database transforms created from a first version and an upgraded first version can also be used to upgrade corresponding second versions into an upgraded second versions.
