Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and computer program product for bi-directional synchronization of a cache. One embodiment of the method of this invention includes: receiving a database asset from a database; storing the database asset as a cached file in a cache; notifying an operating system to open the cached file using a local application associated with a file type for the cached file; opening the cached file with the local application associated with the type for the cached file; determining if the cached file has been modified; and if the cached file has been modified, communicating the cached file directly to the database. One embodiment of the computer program product of this invention includes program instructions adapted to perform similar steps.
