Patent attributes
A system and method is disclosed, which facilitates data replication in a multi-master Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS). An in-memory attribute is stored at a server of a multi-master database system. The in-memory attribute is associated with an operation, a record, and a global unique identifier (GUID) assuring uniqueness across the database system. The in-memory attribute indicates disallowing at the server additional requested operations associated with the record. The operation associated with the in-memory attribute is performed at the server and logged in a global accessible log associated with the server and available to other servers of the database system. The in-memory attribute is removed from the server based on a global accessible log associated with at least one of the other servers.
