Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A durable memory-mapped database system includes a first memory-mapped view of a database, a second memory-mapped view of the database, a journal buffer and a journal. The first memory-mapped view of the database is a protected view and includes copies of a plurality of datafiles from the database. The second memory-mapped view of the database is a write view and includes copies of the plurality of datafiles. The journal buffer is a buffer in random access memory configured to record datafile updates. The journal is configured to periodically receive recorded datafile updates from the journal buffer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for creating durability in a memory-mapped database system, comprising acts of: instantiating, in a memory space managed by an operating system of a computer system, a first memory-mapped view of a database, wherein the first memory-mapped view is a protected view, wherein the act of instantiating includes an act of protecting the first memory-mapped view of the database from one or more management operations of the operating sy…
