A method and system wherein participant node lists are maintained for each individual transaction. In addition, local nodes maintain participant node lists and provide same to coordinating nodes under certain circumstances. The coordinating nodes merge participant node lists and selectively utilize the lists to minimize message duplication. Further, connection node lists for each application are maintained at coordinating nodes and are utilized for application rollback procedures.

A dialog window for use in a filtering process provides filtering criteria based upon a limited number of object properties. Each property has an associated criterion input comprising an operator input and a value input which together with the associated property specify a filtering criterion. The dialog window preferably includes a limited number of properties, such as two or three properties, for simplicity and ease of use. Each property further has a selector in the form of a check box by which the user selects the operant filter criteria. The dialog window additionally includes a count button by which the user may update a count display which indicates the number of objects which will be returned using the presently entered filtering criteria.

The embodiments disclosed herein include new, more efficient ways to request, create, send, and receive product reviews from the Internet. One aspect of the invention is an email message for a customer. The email message includes a request to review a product obtained by the customer in a transaction; a rating input area and/or a text input area; an authentication token that includes a transaction identifier corresponding to the transaction; and an HTTP form submission command to send a response to the request from the customer to a remote computer. The response includes a rating entered in the rating input area and/or text entered in the text input area, and the authentication token.

Provided are techniques for savepoint processing. One of a savepoint statement, a rollback to savepoint statement, and a release savepoint statement is received. It is determined whether to propagate the received one of the savepoint statement, the rollback to savepoint statement, and the release savepoint statement to a data source based on an asymmetrical model in which a nested level of savepoints on a federated server side is capable of being greater than a nested level of savepoints on a data source side and wherein a two-tiered data structure is used to preserve savepoint information in the asymmetrical model. In response to determining that propagation is to occur, the one of the savepoint statement, the rollback to savepoint statement, and the release savepoint statement is propagated to the data source.

In parallel database management systems, database update requests typically result in activity at several nodes. Rollback of all updates is required if the update of any node fails. A coordination process monitors for failure or success of updates. The coordinator further provides for distinguishing activities that have taken place at any given node from the other nodes for different database update requests. Savepoints are local. This allows rollback of a selected update without affecting nodes which did not process the update.

A three-phase database crash recovery mechanism is detailed including a forward phase, a backward phase, and a third, so-called "sideward" phase for recovery of transactions which were interrupted at the time of the crash, using Global Transaction IDs to track the status of the transactions at the coordinating and at the participating nodes. Depending upon the status of the transaction at the time of the crash, either a query message to the coordinating node or a vote message to the participating nodes is generated and processed, thereby allowing most interrupted transactions to be completed. Additional implementations are provided for crash recovery, without duplication of efforts, across multiple nodes in a parallel database environment, for cascaded transactions wherein the database recovery at a local node is triggered by database recovery at a remote node in the parallel system, and for concurrent recovery, wherein database recovery is started concurrently at both transaction coordinator and participant nodes.
