Abstract
A method and an apparatus for managing access to data on a distributed database system is provided. A snapshot list is generated for a transaction executing on the distributed database system. The snapshot list specifies snapshot times for a plurality of locations in the distributed database system. The snapshot times are determined based upon the location of a data item and the location where the transaction is executing. The selection of a version of the data item to be provided to the transaction is made based upon the snapshot time for the location associated with the data.
