Abstract
An improved system, method and database program is provided for automatically creating a replica of data distributed throughout a database onto a replica server. The method identifies an action to be performed on the data and/or a subset of objects of the data for receiving the action. A scope of the distributed database is determined, including a root of the database for accessing all of the data. With this information, a vector is created and provided to the root. As a result, the root can recursively inherit the vector down the distributed database to one or more branches until all of the data is accessed, so that the action can be performed on all the data.
