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.
