1. A method comprising:
- comparing a first parameter with a second parameter obtained prior to the first parameter, the first and the second parameters being indicative of record extraction sequences; and
extracting from a database one or more records that have been changed since a prior synchronization of first and the second computing devices if the first parameter matches the second parameter.

Abstract
The A method and system for server synchronization with a computing device via a companion device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises synchronizing a device and an enterprise server via a companion device, which comprises retrieving a record extraction sequence from the server; providing the record extraction sequence to the handheld device from the companion device; and extracting records stored on a database according to the record extraction sequence, wherein the extracted records are not already stored on the computing device.

7. A method comprising:
-
extracting a first record extraction sequence identification (ID) from a first computing device; and extracting one or more records stored on a database that have been changed since a prior synchronization of the first computing device and a second computing device if the first record extraction sequence ID matches a second record extraction sequence ID that was obtained prior to the first record extraction sequence ID. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system comprising:
-
means for determining whether to extract records stored on a database that have been changed since a prior synchronization of first and the second computing devices by comparing first and second parameters, each of which is indicative of a record extraction sequence; means for extracting one or more records if the first and second parameters compare equally.
