ABSTRACT:
A method for updating a database that combines the advantages of both the migration and incremental approach may resolve some of the problems associated with earlier methods. This may be accomplished by a methodology which incrementally updates new data while using the migration approach to create an entirely new schema. Such a method might compare the metadata from both the existing database and the data update to generate a new schema and integrate new data into the database.
