A technique for storing a plurality of data records in a database. Client processes link to the database to access the data records of the database. Each client process has a specified scope. The scope defines to which of the data records within the database each of the client processes has access.

Distributed database

A converter may be used to convert a serializable object to other file formats. A serializable objects database can be used to store these serializable objects. The serializable object database may be accessed by passing a field value, corresponding to a selected field of the serializable object, to the database. The selected field of the serializable object is marked with an index value. The database is queried using the field value to determine whether any record stored in the database includes the field value in a matching field indicated by the index value. If the query determines that the serializable objects database includes at least one record with the field value in the matching field indicated by the index value, then a plurality of field values are returned to populate a plurality of fields of the serializable object.

Technique for accessing a database of serializable objects using field values corresponding to fields of an object marked with the same index value

A method and apparatus for a fault tolerant network element is described. In one embodiment of the invention, a computer implemented method comprises storing an operation and executing the operation idempotently with a network resource process.
