Abstract

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for a computer implemented modification system for supporting localized data changes in a computer. A change is executed to data in a computer having a local database. The change is performed by the computer to modify data in the local database stored within a data storage device at the computer. The change is indicated as being global. When the local database on the computer is synchronized with a main database on another computer, only global changes are transmitted from the local database to the main database.
