Abstract
Traditional update semantics are provided when updates change the location of records in a database. The system detects that an update to a record will cause the record to change locations in a database from an original location to an updated location. The system selectively prevents activity in the database between the original location and update location until the updated record has changed locations in the database from the original location to the updated location.
