Abstract
A central database maintains values for client publishing devices or application processes executing locally with a database server process or remotely on a different device. Updates may be made by receiving, from a publishing application, an update to a statistic value in a database. The update may include: an indication to process the update as an accumulation update to the statistic value, an accumulation value to apply, and an indication of a key value pair to identify the statistic value to update. Upon receipt, a database server process may obtain access control as appropriate, obtain a current value for the update, apply the accumulation value to the current value, and store the result value as the new statistic value. Updates may be made by client publishers without client publishers being aware of a current value of the statistic. The statistic may represent a network wide operational parameter.
