Abstract:
A first query is retrieved by a computing device. A second query is retrieved by the computing device, wherein the second query is linked to the first query. A derivative query is generated by the computing device based, at least in part, upon merging at least a portion of the second query with at least a portion of the first query, wherein generating the derivative query includes retrieving the first query and the second query prior to generation of the derivative query. The computing device determines whether the derivative query contains one or more conflicts. If it is determined that the derivative query contains one or more conflicts, the one or more conflicts in the derivative query are resolved by the computing device.
