Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for processing of data representing points in space wherein each is represented by components defining its position in a coordinate system and at least one parameter. For each point, the data are separated into a layer per component, and each component is assigned to a cell of a two-dimensional grid of cells such that corresponding cells of multiple layers contain the components of a point. A component of a point is retrieved by reference to a grid position corresponding to the point and to a layer corresponding to the component. Each layer is segmented into patches of cells such that a component of a point can be retrieved by reference to a grid position of a patch within a layer and to a grid position of a cell within a patch. A layer is compressed using an associated codec.

Abstract: Database replication is performed by tracking sequence numbers associated with binary change logs. At a producer cluster, a binary change log is generated based on a write transaction made to a database partition in the producer cluster. Included with the binary change log is a sequence number corresponding to the write transaction. The binary change log is transmitted from the producer cluster to a consumer cluster, where a determination is made whether to apply the binary change log based on the included sequence number. The binary change log is then applied to a database partition in the consumer cluster. The sequence number is stored at the consumer cluster by combining the sequence number with a numerical range having a first number and a second number, where the second number has a value corresponding to the most recent binary change log applied to the database partition in the consumer cluster.

Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method, and computer-program product embodiments for determining a cardinality estimate for a query. A cardinality estimator identifies a predicate in a query, where the predicate is split into a plurality of equivalence classes. The cardinality estimator then generates a plurality of equivalence graphs from the plurality of equivalence classes, one equivalence graph for an equivalence class. Spanning trees are identified from the plurality of equivalence graphs, and the cardinality estimator then determines the cardinality estimate for the query from the spanning trees.

The feedback module then generates a feedback result based on the feedback identified in the one or more social network data entries.

Abstract: Linking of a child table to a parent table in a database system. For a given parent table row, an expression associated with the particular row is identified. The expression may be a semantic expression that comprises something different than or more than an equals expression or a contains expression. The expression might also take as input a field of the parent table other than the primary key of the parent table. For each of multiple (and potentially all) rows of a child table, the expression is evaluated against a foreign key of the corresponding row of the child table. If the foreign key matches the expression, an association is created, and perhaps saved, between the foreign key and the particular row of the parent table. The expressions may differ even down to the granularity of a single row in the parent table, thereby enabling perhaps custom per-row expressions.

Abstract: Techniques for restoring point-in-time and transaction consistency across consistency groups between a first and a second independent database management system (DBMS) for a disaster recovery. Several consistency groups (CGs) are defined for replication. For each CG in the first DBMS data changes are transmitted to a second DBMS. A timestamp representing a most recently received commit log record or a heartbeat during periods of inactivity for a CG is stored in a database table at regular intervals. At regular intervals, the timestamp is compared with timestamps for other CGs to identify a common time at which data to be applied to the CGs in the second DBMS have been received into a recoverable data store. The received data is applied to the CGs in the second DBMS up to the common time.
