Database conditional field access

Abstract:

A database system populates various fields with information from a plurality of data sources which is matched to geographic and segment information for different reference identifiers. A series of data unions provide a selectable result set. A selection of elements from the selectable result set are used to generate qualifiers that are monitored in real time to determine when the qualifiers have been satisfied in order to set a semaphore allowing access to the selection of elements.
