  • Patent number: 11442907
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for converting data models between formats, such as between a conceptual data model and a physical data model for a database system, or between a conceptual data model and artefacts to be implemented in the database system. The conceptual data model is annotated with annotations that allow the physical data model or database artefacts to be automatically generated from the conceptual data model. The annotations can reflect relationships between entity types in the physical data model, such as inheritance relationships, header/item relationships, or one-to-one cardinality relationships. Annotations can also indicate attributes that should be added to entity types in the conceptual data model, such as attributes for versioning or data governance, that may not be used in the conceptual data model. Annotations can be used to determine how entity types in the conceptual data model will be denormalized in the physical data model.

  • Patent number: 11379418
    Abstract: The present technology operates in an application layer of an operating system on a client device of a content management system to monitor for changes to shared content items that are likely unintentional—for example the change might move a content item out of a shared space, or otherwise remove the shared content item from access by other users. The present technology can detect a content item change event on a client device, compare a source file system path for the content item change event with a destination file system path for the content item change event to determine a canonical move causing the content item change event, determine that the canonical move was likely unintentional; and display a notification informing the user that a content item change that was likely unintentional was detected and then allow the user to either confirm or deny (undo) the detected change.

  • Patent number: 11256686
    Abstract: Systems and devices implement scalable implementations of multi-dimensional aggregations with input blending in distributed query processing systems. Multi-dimensional aggregations for identifiers/values designated fields in datasets are performed based on keys. Datasets are sorted by identifier/value and divided into first partitions. Each row of data with a specific sorted-by-identifier/value is only present in one of the first partitions. Keys are generated from each combination of two or more dataset fields, and a blended table of data is generated over the partitions based on each different key combination. Designated data field characteristics are determined for the blended table based on the different key combinations. The characteristics are divided into second partitions based on the keys, where each key is present in only one of the second partitions. A final designated data field characteristic is determined for each row of data in each of the second partitions as the multi-dimensional aggregation.
