  • Patent number: 10031830
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for evaluating database accesses. The apparatus may comprise a computer program that causes a computer system to exchange profiling data between a client application module and a database module; execute a database access; determine a database access policy violation at a detection point module; and selectively request context information from a context point module related to the database access.

  • Patent number: 9715438
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for static execution of statements. Information from an execution file that describes statements that have been bound to a database during a previous execution of those statements dynamically and describes metadata about the statements is loaded. While executing a program that includes statements, for each of the statements, it is determined whether that statement is bound to the database. In response to determining that the statement is bound to the database, the statement is executed statically using the loaded information. In response to determining that the statement is not bound to the database, the statement is executed dynamically.

  • Patent number: 9129000
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system enables control of database applications. The system comprises a computer system including a database application to provide access to a database system, and at least one processor. The computer system requests retrieval of application specific property information for the database application from a data repository, and applies the retrieved application specific property information to the database application to control operation of the database application. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for controlling database applications in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Patent number: 9020939
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for invoking with a processor executing on a computer a source code parser to obtain source information that includes a first location of an Application Programming Interface (API) call and parameters of the API call in source code of a client application, where the parameters the API call do not include query text for a query that is to be used to access a database; examining a stack trace to determine a second location of the API call in the stack trace; and deriving the query of the API call and a third location of the query in the source code by identifying the query in the stack trace at the location of the API call in the stack trace.

  • Patent number: 8825634
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for collecting client information for client applications running on a client computer, wherein the client information includes a client application identifier for each client application that issues queries to a database along with text of each of the queries that the client application issues; collecting database monitoring information that includes text of each query issued against the database and performance information for each query; combining the client information and the database monitoring information based on the text of the queries to obtain combined information that provides the client application identifier and the performance information for each of the queries; and identifying a problem query and at least one client application that has issued the problem query using the combined information.

  • Patent number: 8145655
    Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for generating information on database queries in source code into object code compiled from the source code. Source code including query statements to perform operations with respect to a database is translated into executable object code. A statement descriptor for at least one query statement is generated into the object code, wherein the statement descriptor for the at least one query statement includes information on the query statement including the query statement in the source code. The statement descriptors in the object code are processed to output information on the query statements indicated in the statement descriptors.

  • Patent number: 8090735
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for generating a result set. A statement that includes at least one statement pattern is received, wherein each statement pattern is a template that indicates how a statement is to be modified for execution against a data store and wherein each statement pattern modifies program logic and control flow. Each statement pattern is expanded to generate one or more new statements, wherein each statement pattern is capable of being expanded to zero or more statement patterns. The one or more new statements are executed against a data store to obtain a result set. It is determined whether to modify the result set based on the at least one statement pattern. In response to determining that the result set is to be modified, modifying the result set.

  • Patent number: 7779047
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for storing data. Invocation of a data access service is received, wherein the invocation identifies a data structure storing one or more data elements having a data format. An update handler to be plugged into a data access framework is identified, wherein the update handler processes data elements having the data format. Under control of the update handler, data elements are accessed in the data structure; one or more statements for storing the data elements into the data store are determined; and the one or more statements are forwarded to the data access framework.

  • Patent number: 7594217
    Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for matching client interfaces with service interfaces. A client component includes at least one client interface and a target component includes at least one service interface. A data structure for the client component associates at least one client interface in the client component with one target component. For each client interface indicated in the data structure, a determination is made as whether there is one service interface in the target component associated with the client interface that is compatible with the client interface.
