Abstract: In a database system that supports object name overloading, database query statements are compiled and cached as data structures so that object level privileges are correctly resolved. Database query statements stored in the cached data structures are utilized when appropriate and a new compilation is performed when an incorrect resolution would result. The data structures are stored in a predefined order to ensure that a deterministic search of the cache is efficiently performed.

Abstract: A multi-node relational database management system is provided that can be embodied in software for managing a database having declared temporary tables associated with respective software application programs. The system comprises a plurality of nodes. The nodes include a catalog node for maintaining a list of identifiers for declared temporary tables associated with any application; a coordinator node for an application; at least one subordinate node for the application, the subordinate node having at least one partition of the declared temporary tables of the application; and a declared temporary table manager for causing the coordinator node to maintain for the application a list of declared temporary tables.

Abstract: A relational database management system which determines the shareable status of an executable object (section) in an cache. The shareable status is defined for a section in a cache by the system maintaining an identification list which has reference to database entities which are affected by a statement in the current unit of work. When a statement is compiled, the compiler generates a list of dependencies, which list is compared with the identification list. If the statement data dependencies are on the identification list, the statement will be treated as non-shareable until the completion of the current unit of work.

Abstract: A method and system for caching dynamic SQL statements and their sections at different nodes in a multiple node Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) while maintaining cache and application integrity across all nodes. Each node in the RDBMS having a global cache shared by all applications on that node. One of the nodes in the RDBMS being a catalogue node which controls access to a database. The catalogue node maintaining a list of participating nodes that have requested access to the database controlled by the catalogue node. The list of participating nodes being used to notify each participating node of any changes to the database that may affect the validity of a dynamic SQL statement stored in the global cache of the node.
