          Appeal No. 1999-1557                                                        
          Application 08/650,397                                                      



                    (b) deleting all said records from said second                    
          database system database; and                                               
                    (c ) recreating said second database system database              
          by performing the interleaved steps of                                      
                         (c.1) processing in both said first and said                 
          second database system each said update as it occurs and                    
          processing only in said first database system each said query               
          as it occurs, and                                                           
                         (c.2) copying each said record from said first               
          database system database to said second database system                     
          database.                                                                   
                    In rejecting Appellant’s claims, the Examiner relies              
          on two references:                                                          
          Naito et al. (Naito)               5,060,185     Oct. 22, 1991              
          Strickland et al. (Strickland)     5,355,477     Oct. 11, 1994              


                    Claim 6 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as               
          being anticipated by Naito.  Claims 1, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 16-19,              
          22 and 23 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being                  
          obvious over Naito.  Claims 2-4, 9, 10, 13-15, 20 and 21 stand              
          rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being obvious over Naito               
          and Strickland.  Rather than repeat the arguments of the                    
          Appellant and Examiner, we refer the reader to the Appellant’s
