DATABASE MIGRATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240296149 titled 'DATABASE MIGRATION
The abstract describes techniques for migrating a database between different storage clusters. A computer system manages the database through a database application that allows a client application to access data stored at a first storage cluster. The system copies specific data associated with the current state of the database from the first storage cluster to a second storage cluster. After the initial copy, the database application transitions into a read-only mode, processing read traffic only. The system then copies additional data generated by the database application during the initial copy process from the first storage cluster to the second storage cluster. Another instance of the database application may be instantiated in association with the second storage cluster.
- Identification of current state of the database
- Copying specific data from first storage cluster to second storage cluster
- Transitioning database application into read-only mode
- Copying additional data generated during initial copy process
- Instantiating another instance of the database application in association with the second storage cluster
Potential Applications: - Data migration between storage clusters - Database management optimization - Disaster recovery solutions
Problems Solved: - Efficient database migration - Minimizing downtime during migration - Ensuring data consistency across storage clusters
Benefits: - Improved data management efficiency - Enhanced disaster recovery capabilities - Seamless transition between storage clusters
Commercial Applications: Title: Database Migration Solutions for Enhanced Data Management This technology can be utilized by companies that need to migrate large databases between storage clusters, ensuring minimal downtime and data consistency. It can also be beneficial for disaster recovery planning and optimizing database management processes.
Questions about Database Migration Solutions:

2. What are the potential commercial applications of this database migration solution? This technology can be used by companies of all sizes that need to efficiently migrate databases between storage clusters, improving data management processes and disaster recovery capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques are disclosed pertaining to migrating a database between different storage clusters. a computer system identifies a current state of the database that is managed by a database application that enables a client application to access data of the database stored at a first storage cluster. the computer system copies first particular data of the database that is associated with the current state from the first storage cluster to a second storage cluster. after the copying, the computer system transitions the database application into a read-only mode in which it processes read but not write traffic. the computer system copies, from the first storage cluster to the second storage cluster, second particular data of the database that was generated by the database application during the copying of the first particular data. the computer system may also instantiate another instance of the database application in association with the second storage cluster.
