Abstract
A database system having a sequential log that is shared by multiple computer systems is described. The database system receives data records generated by multiple computer systems, and stores such data records in the sequential log. The database system periodically reorganizes the data records in the sequential log such that the data records are stored in sequential physical memory locations of the sequential log by order of their creation.
