Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to using different process groups to control allocation of execution resources for database connection processes that handle application requests. In disclosed embodiments, a database server receives a request from an application server for database resources, including application information specifying one or more attributes of the request. The server may assign a database connection process to access a database for the request and assign the database connection process to a process group based on the application information. The server may assign execution resources based on resource allocation parameters that are associated with the assigned process group.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to efficiently managing skip list data structures. In some embodiments, a computing system stores a skip list including a plurality of key-value records that include one or more pointers to others of the plurality of key-value records. The computing system scans the plurality of key-value records in key order to identify key-value records to be purged from the skip list. The scanning includes maintaining a list of key-value records that include pointers that point to key-value records that have not yet been scanned by the scanning. In response to identifying a key-value record for purging, the computing system purges the key-value record by substituting the pointers included the key-value records of the list with pointers included in the key-value record being purged.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a networked storage environment are provided. One method includes storing at a storage device by a processor a data structure with information regarding a plurality of compatible software and hardware components configured to operate in a plurality of configurations as part of a storage solution for using resources at a networked storage environment for storing data, where the data structure stores information regarding relationships between a plurality of storage solutions using certain common hardware and software components; receiving a request for a compatible configuration; searching the data structure by the processor and providing a hint based on any existing relationship between components of the plurality of storage solutions and content of the request; and presenting the compatible configuration for using one or more resources of the networked storage environment.
