  • Patent number: 11750692
    Abstract: Techniques and structures to prevent exhaustion of a database connection pool, including retrieving data from the database connection pool, monitoring the data to determine whether the connection pool is at risk of an exhaustion condition, analyzing the data to determine whether one or more clients accessing the database connection pool are offenders upon determining that the connection pool is at risk and throttling access to the one or more clients accessing the database connection pool upon determining the one or more clients to be offenders.

  • Patent number: 10958505
    Abstract: Techniques and architectures to provide multiple application servers each having at least one connection agent and at least one enabler agent and at least one database organized as multiple nodes. An error condition between a first connection agent and a first database node is detected. The first connection agent indicates that the first database node is unavailable to stop attempts to access the first database node by a first application server. A first enabler agent periodically checks availability of the first database node. The first database node is indicated as available in response to a pre-selected number of successful attempts to contact the first database node with the first enabler agent. The first database node is accessed with the application server in response to the indication that the first database node is available.

  • Patent number: 10635561
    Abstract: In a computing environment having multiple application servers each having at least one connection agent and at least one pause agent and a database node, detecting an error condition between a first application server from the multiple application servers and the database node. Indicating that the database node is unavailable to stop attempts to access the database node by a first application server. The attempts to access the database node are paused without an indication of the database node being unavailable to a source of the attempt to access the database node. Checking periodically, with the first application server, availability of the database node. Indicating that the database node is available in response to a pre-selected number of successful attempts to contact the database node with the first application server.

  • Publication number: 20200050693
    Abstract: Managing indexing transactions in a database environment using at least a main database and at least one corresponding clone database. A time associated with a database request is determined. A lag time associated with data in a secondary database is determined. Data to service the database request is retrieved from the secondary database if the lag time is less than a pre-selected tolerance time for corresponding data. Data to service the database request is retrieved from the primary database if the lag time is greater than a pre-selected tolerance time for corresponding data. A response to the database request with the retrieved data is generated.

  • Patent number: 9928147
    Abstract: Embodiment provide that each pluggable database (PDB) in a container database is associated with a distinct distributed lock manager (DLM) domain. Thus, in order to access a PDB, a database server instance joins the DLM domain for the PDB. To perform actions on the PDB, the instance secures locks that belong to the DLM domain for the particular PDB. As such, buffers storing data for the PDB may be managed separately from buffers storing data for other PDBs using the PDB-specific DLM domains. An instance forcefully closing a particular PDB marks the DLM domain of the PDB as invalid, which allows detection of the forceful closure by a recovery instance. Detection of an invalid DLM domain by an instance causes the instance to automatically recover the PDB by accessing pertinent ranges of redo logs and replaying changes made to data blocks for the PDB indicated in the logs.
