ABSTRACT:
A method for reorganizing data is described. The method includes the steps of reading each record of a source file and writing each record to a destination file. The method also includes the step of creating a log file containing selected log records. Each log record is associated with a change to be made to the destination file. The method further includes the steps of reading each log record of the log file and processing each record of the log file, thereby effecting the associated change to the destination file. The method still further includes the step of replacing the source file with the destination file. An apparatus and article of manufacture are also disclosed for implementing the steps of the method.
