A data processing apparatus includes a storage device having a replication generation function for replicating a data base to create a replication data base, and stores data and a plurality of log information in transaction processing that uses the data in the storage device, selects a transaction that is performing a data operation without meeting a predetermined condition after synchronization between the data base and the replication data base is released, and performs the data operation cancellation processing to the replication data base by the selected transaction. It also selects a transaction, which meets the predetermined condition and is not performing a data operation to the replication data base, to perform a data operation to the replication data base with the selected transaction. It then becomes possible to reduce the burden for the data processing apparatus during using the replication data base.

Method and system for data processing with data replication for the same

When a database area multi-written or replicated in an external storage unit is separated, a database management system writes consistent data into the external storage unit. A method and system capable of controlling a timing of separating the replicated database area is provided. Furthermore, new data directory information necessary to access the replicated database is dynamically added based on the data directory information of the replication source database. A method and system capable of selecting whether to access the database which is the source of the replication or access the replicated database are provided. Thus, when the database area multi-written or replicated in an external storage unit is separated and physical replicated databases are created, it is possible to maintain consistency of the replicated databases while continuing transaction processing.
