ABSTRACT:
A specialized data management method wherein schema-evolution is handled transparently by the end-user at run time, the data are groomed according to certain rules, and the grooming tasks are performed, if possible, when the computer system is otherwise idle, or at least when the data management system is otherwise idle. These mechanisms allow the data to be stored with optimal compactness and clustering, enabling the fastest possible storage and retrieval rates. The method supplies a high-level programming language extension, thereby enabling the data management system to take on most of the responsibilities of the application. The exemplary embodiment of a data management system using the method is a vote-server for use in groupware applications.
