Our invention guarantees global serializability by preventing multidatabase transactions from being serialized in different ways at the participating local database systems (LDBS). In one embodiment tickets are used to inform the MDBS of the relative serialization order of the subtransactions of each...http://www.google.fr/patents/US5241675?utm_source=gb-gplus-shareBrevet US5241675 - Method for enforcing the serialization of global multidatabase transactions through committing only on consistent subtransaction serialization by the local database managers
