  • Patent number: 8838598
    Abstract: A workload specification, detailing specific queries and a frequency of execution of each of the queries, and a set of partitions, are obtained for the database, as inputs. A number of candidate tables are identified for the database, the tables having a plurality of attributes. A chosen attribute is allocated for each of the tables, to obtain a set of tables and a set of appropriate partitions for each of the tables.

  • Patent number: 8626724
    Abstract: A workload specification is obtained for the database. Based on the workload specification, candidate ones of the tables are identified and ranked. Compression impact is evaluated for the candidate ones of the tables. A design for the database is developed, specifying at least one of: (i) which of the tables should be compressed, and (ii) which of the tables should not be compressed.

  • Patent number: 8615587
    Abstract: A data query instruction for execution is received, wherein execution of the data query instruction is to cause a data transfer into or from a data warehouse. The data warehouse includes data servers that are communicatively coupled for data transfer through a link aggregation group having at least two data links. Responsive to receiving the data query instruction and prior to or at least partially overlapping with execution of the data query instruction to cause the data transfer, which of the number of data servers are to receive or transmit data as part of the data transfer is identified; for each of the identified data servers, a minimum number of the at least two data links that are needed for the data transfer are identified; and if inactive, the minimum number of the at least two data links for each of the identified data servers are activated.

  • Patent number: 8463895
    Abstract: To predict edges in a non-cumulative graph, based on a sequence of non-cumulative previous occurrences of the graph, the sequence of non-cumulative previous occurrences of the graph is obtained, and topological properties of each of the previous occurrences of the graph are extracted. Topological similarities between each of the previous occurrences of the graph are computed based on the topological properties. The edges of the graph are predicted by computing a score for each possible edge of the graph, based upon the topological similarities.

  • Patent number: 7986848
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for a multi-resolution storage scheme for historical data are provided. The method includes dividing the historical data into a plurality of time frames and determining an amount of compression for each of the time frames, where at least two of the time frames have a different amount of compression. The method further includes applying the amount of compression to each of the time frames, resulting in multi-resolution historical data, and storing the multi-resolution historical data.
