20130238555 | ALIASES FOR ACCESSING SHARED TABLES DURING PROVISION OF CONTINUOUS ACCESS DURING APPLICATION UPGRADE - Continuous access to an application and associated data is provided during a modification (for example, an upgrade) of the application. Shared tables are used to perform parallel changes in databases associated with an original database schema, a temporary database schema, and an upgraded database schema. Aliases are used to access shared tables from some database schemas. The use of shared tables obviates a separate merging of data written by different tools and/or systems during an upgrade of the application.

20130238577 | PROVIDING CONTINUOUS DATABASE ACCESS DURING DATABASE MODIFICATION - The subject matter described herein relates to providing a continuous access to a database at times, including when the database is being modified or upgraded. Initially, access to an old version of a table is enabled and provided to a user. A copy of the old version is generated. Access is asynchronously redirected from the old version to the copy of the old version. A new version of the table is generated by modifying the structure of the first version of the table. The copy of the old version is accessible when the database is being modified or upgraded. When the structure is being modified, access is asynchronously redirected from the copy of the old version to the new version. | 09-12-2013 |

Further, the renamed source tables are equipped with database triggers to transfer data from the renamed source tables to the cloned tables used by the source system according to a source database schema. Next, the target tables are generated that include updated software content for later use by the target system while the source tables are used via a bridge database schema. Tables can then be shared between the source database schema accessed via the bridge database schema and the target system. | 04-07-2016 |
