Transaction-Based Refresh of a Long Database Transaction's Workspace

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure aim to improve upon systems for managing long database transactions, and the way in which changes made to a database from within a workspace view during a long transaction are committed to the underlying parent database. The present disclosure aims to solve problems caused by the need to refresh a workspace view as part of the process of resolving conflicts between competing workspace views operating on the same portions of the database. Aspects described herein solve the problem through the creation of a separate data structure which effectively logs all of the further transactions which commit changes to parent database. The data structure can be arranged to include all changes committed after a first transaction is opened and worked upon. The process of committing the changes made in the first transaction to the workspace includes performing a recursive search using the data structure.
