Abstract

Devices, systems and methods are provided for managing records. One method involves constructing a fuzzy match graph data structure with edges between different field values for a fuzzy matched field of a plurality of records in accordance with a matching rule, assigning unique identifiers to different subgraphs of field values within the fuzzy match graph data structure, determining a match key value associated with a respective record based on a respective unique identifier assigned to a respective subgraph of field values including a respective field value for the fuzzy matched field of the respective record, constructing a heterogenous graph data structure having edges between the respective match key values associated with the respective records of the plurality of records, identifying a subset of related records using the heterogenous graph data structure, and performing one or more actions on the subset of related records at a database system.
