Publication number: 20160292215Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for partitioning online databases. Online database operations, such as, for example, SPLIT, MERGE, and DROP, are used to alter the arrangement of partitions in a federated database. A SPLIT operation splits rows at one partition across a plurality of other partitions. A MERGE operation merges rows at a plurality of partitions in to one partition. A DROP operation shifts responsibility for rows of data from one partition to another partition and then drops the rows from the one partition.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2016Publication date: October 6, 2016Inventors: Lev Novik, Andrew Kimball, Tony Petrossian, Cihangir Biyikoglu, Santeri Olavi Voutilainen, Tomas Talius, Istvan Cseri, Joachim Hammer, Jason D.

Patent number: 9081837Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for scoping the context used to access a database partition. Embodiments of the invention enable data isolation using partitions in multi-tenant databases, while relieving client applications from dealing with the partitions. For example, a computer system that includes a distributed database system comprising a plurality of database partitions in a federation receives a context to use when performing database access operations within the distributed database system. The context identifies specified relevant portion of the federation. The computer system also receives a database access operation that is associated with the context. The computer system modifies the semantics of the database access operation in accordance with the associated context, to direct application of the database access operation to the specified relevant portion of the federation.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2011Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Lev Novik, Jason D.
