Appeal No. 2002-1756
Application No. 09/037,879
completely at a loss to determine how the allocation of databases
to storage devices discussed by Boudrie at column 4, lines 27-38,
corresponds to the specifically claimed “translating the data
definition information into data definition instructions.”
Moreover, the examiner has not convincingly pointed to
anything in Boudrie relating to the claimed “data definitions.”
The examiner points to column 1, lines 45-61, of Boudrie for the
teaching of recreating data definitions in a database system. We
find nothing in the cited portion of the reference relating to
“data definitions in a database system.”
Further, appellant makes a fair case that Sherman discloses
nothing more than the admitted prior art relating to a “rollback”
instruction, over which the instant claimed subject matter is
disclosed as having advantages. Yet, the examiner has not
convincingly rebutted this argument by pointing to anything
specific in the applied references indicating some suggestion of
the claimed translation of data definition information into data
definition instructions so that the data definitions may be
restored.
