Patent number: 10452656Abstract: The disclosure generally describes methods, software, and systems, including a method for defining and using dependencies and equivalences for data elements in the data model in order to improve query efficiency. At design time of a data model, dependencies and equivalences for data elements in the data model are received over a computer network. The dependencies and equivalences are stored in persistent storage with the data model. A request is received over the computer network, the request to be executed to obtain results from a database associated with the data model. An optimized query is generated using the received request and the dependencies and equivalences. The optimized query is optimized relative to the received request.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Edgardo Gildo Koenig, Steffen Siegmund, Arndt Effern, Guenter Briam

Patent number: 10402405Abstract: The disclosure generally describes methods, software, and systems, including a method for optimizing queries referencing large object (LOB) information. A structured query language (SQL) query containing an LOB field is identified. LOB replacement information for the LOB field is obtained from a data model. The SQL query is optimized including substituting, using the obtained LOB replacement information, the LOB field with replacement language to create an updated SQL query, and extending the updated SQL query with a join of LOB field language to create an extended SQL query.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Edgardo Gildo Koenig, Steffen Siegmund, Guenter Briam, Arndt Effern

Publication number: 20180121538Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for a system for condensed representation of unique identifiers. An embodiment operates by determining a data set that includes a plurality of records. The records may be associated with a plurality of fields, each of which may be associated with a weight. One or more distinguishing field sets are determined that distinguish the plurality of records of the data set from each other. One of the distinguishing field sets is selected based on the weight. Data corresponding to the one or more fields, of the selected distinguishing field set, for the plurality of records is displayed on a display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2017Publication date: May 3, 2018Inventors: Marvin Peter Follmann, Ralf Stauffer, Arndt Effern, Guenter Briam

Patent number: 7461097Abstract: In a software system (200/210/220) with a business application (200), database migration from a source database (210) to a physically different target database (230) is performed by a migration tool (260) that evaluates database instructions (201) that the application (200) consecutively sends to the source database (210). The migration tool (260) stores representations (254, 255) of an action type (205, D, I, U) and of a key (231) in a log table (250) when an action type coincides with a predetermined action type (D, I, U); copies source table entries to the target table (240); and adjusts entries in the target table that have keys represented in the log table (250). During migration, the application (200) and the source table continue communicating.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2003Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: SAP AktiengesellschaftInventors: Martin Stahl, Bernd Kohler, Guenter Briam, Torsten Ziegler, Frank-Martin Haas
