Abstract
A computer program and a computer implemented method are provided for synchronizing two databases by attempting to identify a plurality of records of the second database storing a span of information stored in a record of the first database and synchronizing the first database and the second database based on the results of the attempt. The computer program and a computer implemented can also store a record of a first database in a second database where the record of the first database stores a span of information and the second database is not capable of storing such span of information in a single record. To do so, a plurality of records of the second database are generated to store the span of information of the record of the first database, each of the plurality of the records of the second database storing a portion of the span of the information, where the plurality of records of the second database in combination store a selected segment of the span of information less than the entirety of the span of information.
