AUTONOMOUS DATA ISOLATION AND PERSISTENCE USING APPLICATION CONTROLLED DYNAMIC EMBEDDED DATABASE

Abstract:

The present invention provides for autonomous data isolation and persistence using application controlled dynamic embedded databases. Specifically, the application includes the logic to identify, through the operating system, the user and the user's home directory and, in response to such, generate user-specific embedded database at the home directory location. Since the home directory can only be accessed by the user, the embedded database and its data are shielded from other users. Further, the application provides for automatically maintaining the database, such as, modifying the database (e.g., add columns, rows, tables or the like) based on detected updates to the application and/or re-generating a new instance of the embedded database based on detected updates to the application that warrant such, detection of corrupt data in the database or the like.
