  • Patent number: 11971877
    Abstract: A computer device obtains a block proposal message and obtains a first block from the block proposal message. In accordance with a determination that a current consensus node of the computer device has a second block in a locked state and a block height of the first block is the same as a block height of the second block, the computer device deletes the block proposal message and obtains block voting information of the second block in a first consensus stage. The locked state is a state of a block that has passed the first consensus stage and has not passed a second consensus stage. The computer device obtains block submission voting information of the second block in the second consensus stage according to the block voting information, and determines a consensus result corresponding to the second block according to the block submission voting information.

  • Patent number: 11954119
    Abstract: In an approach for dynamically selecting the application algorithm to be used for each change in a target database system, a processor provides at least two application algorithms for applying changes to a table in a target database system. A processor determines, for each application algorithm of the at least two application algorithms, a performance behavior of each application algorithm for sizes of changes that are applied to the table by the respective application algorithm. A processor receives a data change request for applying a change to the table. A processor determines a size of the change to the table. A processor selects one of the at least two application algorithms that provides a best performance for the size based on the performance behavior of each application algorithm. A processor applies the change to the table using the selected application algorithm that provides the best performance for the size.
