Abstract

See full text

A method and system for updating and deleting records in a tableset T of a family having M tables (M.gtoreq.1). A set S of N source files (N.gtoreq.1) are embodied in fileset S.sub.A at time t.sub.A and in fileset S.sub.B at time t.sub.B. S is logically associated with T. The family has a common family key K.sub.F across the M tables and across the N source files. A Delta program generates a dataset D having non-redundant family keyvalues embodying K.sub.F. Each non-redundant family keyvalue is drawn from selected Update or Delete records of S.sub.B relative to S.sub.A. For Updates, a Trigger program generates fileset .DELTA.S from records of S.sub.B having a family key in D, and a Bridge program generates fileset .DELTA.T that includes .DELTA.S data in a form compatible with T. A Load program updates and deletes records in T based on the non-redundant family keyvalues.
