Abstract
A method and system is disclosed for sending changes in information to a central system. The method includes providing a first database having a plurality of information tables for storing information and providing a second database for tracking changes to the information in the information tables of the first database. The second database may include a link table containing links corresponding to the information tables in the first database. The changes in the information tables may be periodically extracted from the first database by using the second database. The changes may be extracted via a link of the link table which corresponds to the information table where an information change occurred. The extracted changes may be sent to a central server.
