1. A method for accessing a database stored on a server using a relation, the server being coupled to a client computer via a network, wherein the relation comprises first data items, the first data items forming a partially ordered set in a first relation, wherein for each first data item a referential connection exists in the database assigning said first data item to at least one second data item of the database, the method comprising:
identifying first data items of the relation, each of the identified first data items referencing N second data items;
for each identified first data item modifying, using a same modification method, the identified first data item M times, wherein M≤N, for obtaining M unique modified data items;
associating with each of the modified first data items of a given first data item a respective portion of N referential connections of the given first data item;
inserting the modified first data items in the relation, thereby replacing the identified first data items.
