Abstract
Systems and methodologies are provided for efficiently performing concurrent transactions by multiple users, and tracking data at a logical level beneath a physical level of the object being modified. Each transaction can copy a committed version of the data segment to be modified to its respective space, and can update such copy during modification. A detect component detects whether any data segment being operated upon requires updating as a result of other transactions committing, and a merge component synchronizes the data segment with its committed version. Various optimization procedures can also be incorporated as part of the commit stage, upon completion of the detect and merge process.
