Abstract:
1. A method for opening a document stored at each of a plurality of database replicas communicatively connected with a current database replica, the method comprising: opening the current database replica at a server computing device, the current database replica storing (i) an indicator for the document denoting the plurality of database replicas at which the document is stored and (ii) an indication of a probable time for a client to retrieve the document from at least one of the plurality of database replicas; retrieving from the current database replica the indication of probable time to retrieve the document from said at least one of the database replicas; performing for each database replica a real-time analysis of parameters in relation to the database replica, based on the retrieved probable time, to yield an updated probable time to retrieve the document from the database replica, wherein the real-time analysis is performed after user selection of the document for opening, and wherein said performing includes determining the updated probable time to retrieve the document from each of the database replicas based on one retrieved probable time when the current database replica stores only the indication of the probable time to retrieve from said one database replica, and determining for each of the database replicas a respective updated probable time to retrieve the document based on corresponding retrieved probable time when the current database replica stores for each database replica a respective indication of the probable time to retrieve from that database replica; and retrieving the document from the database replica having a lowest updated probable time.
