Abstract: A system and method is provided for creating accounts for users of a service. An infrastructure associated with an invited user enables the invited user to view a document that is stored in association with another user. A server computer is capable of receiving an indication to associate a second infrastructure with the invited user, which enables the creation of a document to be stored in association with the invited user.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques of using a hosting device to provide multiple versions of a single web application. As described in detail below, the hosting device stores resources associated with different versions of the web application in different subdirectories. When the hosting device receives a request associated with the web application, the hosting device automatically identifies one of the versions of the web application as an applicable version of the web application. The hosting device rewrites a pathname in the request to include a subdirectory name of the subdirectory that stores the applicable version of the web application. The hosting device then dereferences the resource identified by the rewritten pathname. In this way, the hosting device uses the resources of the applicable version of the web application to process the request.

Abstract: A method is provided for allocating resources for users of a service based on whether a user has expressed intent to fully utilize capabilities of the service. If the intent is expressed by a user, an infrastructure is created that enables the user to maintain, via a user interface, artifacts associated with an account of the user on the service. A user that has not yet expressed such intent is presented with a prospective user interface simulating the user interface without enabling the prospective user to maintain the artifacts associated with an account of the prospective user.

Abstract: A method for externalizing database monitor information, and a database management system incorporating the method, which utilizes the database system's own data manipulation and retrieval system is disclosed. Monitor information is logically available in pseudotable form which may be accessed as any other data. However pseudotables do not actually exist; rather the result set is constructed when a request is made to select from a pseudotable. A predefined format for each pseudotables is stored in the database catalog tables and is used in constructing the tuples from existing internal data structures which are constantly updated with monitor data.

Abstract: The method provides for treating an embedded static SQL program that resides with the CLI application (rather than at the database manager) in an analogous manner to stored procedures. When the CLI application sends a SQL CALL statement syntactically identical to a stored procedure call, the CLI implementation can intercept the call and, instead of invoking the stored procedure, invoke the embedded static program.
