Abstract
A method to efficiently create a consistent image of a database index at any point-in-time by reversing the effect of uncommitted updates by applying database transaction logs to an index page set in a single pass. The created image can be used to recover the database index to a point in time that is consistent with its associated table, or for physical migration where data and indexes are migrated to another database that may or may not be on the same DBMS and the indexes and data must be consistent as of the same point in time.
