Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, two or more attributes that are included in a plurality of attributes are aggregated into a group defined by a first data definition language syntax. The first data definition language syntax defines the group as having a groupID and one or more of an attribute definition defined in a comma-separated list and a group definition. The attribute definition is defined by a second data definition syntax. The first data definition language syntax includes the second data definition language syntax. The first data definition language syntax is structured in a manner to allow a database operation associated with the group to be applied to all attributes and/or groups included therein.

Abstract: A method for aggregating data in database tables. A computer receives a request to create an aggregation object comprising a set of related tables and aggregation rules. The computer system creates an aggregation object comprising multiple tables with related key and data columns and managed as a single entity with a single definition. Upon receiving data in the form of a new, inserted, or updated row, the computer system automatically aggregates the data to all objects in the aggregation object hierarchy by creating a summarized row for the current table using the inserted, merged or updated row and defined aggregation rules for each object.

Abstract: A database management system provides row based filtering of data at a database level by evaluating content of at least one record of a write data request received from an application for a particular table from among at least one table of a database, against at least one filter rule specified for the particular table. The database management system selects, for the at least one record, whether to store the at least one record of the write data request as a separate row in the particular table based on a separate action triggered for the at least one record when evaluated against the at least one filter rule specified for the particular table, each record not selected for storage being silently discarded.

Abstract: An approach is provided to copy records between tables in a relational database. In the approach, a Structured Query Language (SQL) table COPY statement is received with the COPY statement identifying a source table and a target table. Table column names are retrieved from a metadata that corresponds to the source table.
