Abstract:

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for improving network database functionalities are discussed therein, such as a computer-implemented method including generating, in a network database, a first dataset associated with a client account, wherein the first dataset indicates a restricted value; receiving, from a client device associated with the client account, a first data linking query to associate the first dataset with an instrument identifier; generating, in the network database, a dataset pointer mapping the first dataset with the instrument identifier, wherein the instrument identifier is associated with a physical instrument; receiving a transmission indication associated with the physical instrument, wherein the transmission indication indicates the instrument identifier and a partial amount associated with the first dataset; updating, in the network database, the first dataset based on the transmission indication; and outputting, to the client device, a transmission notification indicating the updated first dataset.
