Abstract
In an environment where databases are shared, it is important that the information contained within the databases be consistent among databases containing the respective information. Thus, there is a need for a method and apparatus for synchronizing databases containing related information comprising the steps of detecting a change to at least one database record in any of a first plurality of databases based on a first set of parameters; notifying a controller of the change; and updating, according to the detected change, each of a second plurality of databases containing the respective database record in response to a determination that the change falls within a second parameter.
