A snapshot differential refresh algorithm

Year: 1986

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This article presents an algorithm to refresh the contents of database snapshots. A database snapshot is a read-only table whose contents are extracted from other tables in the database. The snapshot contents can be periodically refreshed to reflect the current state of the database. Snapshots are useful in many applications as a cost effective substitute for replicated data in a distributed database system.
