Abstract: A computer-implemented method for deploying a new artifact file in a database. The new artifact file provides specifications for one or more new run-time database objects to be created in the database by processing of the new artifact file by artifact-type specific conversion engines. The method includes assigning ownership of the one or more new run-time database objects to be created in the database to the new artifact file, and, when an existing database object in the database provided by another artifact file corresponds to a new run-time database object specified in the new artifact file, assigning ownership of the existing database object in the database to the new artifact file being deployed.

Abstract: Context tracing may be implemented by modifying a call to parameterize, and thereby govern, logging operations of a called software application or program. Resulting messages of the logging operations are stored in a manner that facilitates fast identification and retrieval of the messages. Accordingly, accurate identification of errors or sub-optimal operations of the called software application or program is enabled, thereby enabling correction and/or optimization of operations of the called program.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for connection multiplexing in a parallel processing environment. An example method includes requesting, responsive to a request to perform multiple database operations in a single transaction, a connection identifier for a physical connection to the database, providing the connection identifier to each of a plurality of workers, and performing the multiple database operations using the plurality of workers. Each worker may obtain a work item from a work queue, initiate a database request for the work item, and provide the database request to a database server. The database request represents one of the multiple database operations and includes the connection identifier. The database server may determine that the connection identifier corresponds to the physical connection, add the request to a connection queue associated with the physical connection, and execute requests from the connection queue against the database via the physical connection.

Abstract: A data processing system has a program module for determining a re-distribution of objects, such as database tables, over processing units of a cluster of processing units, such as in a blade computing environment. An estimate of the required duration for applying the re-distribution is calculated in order to facilitate an administrator's decision when to initiate the re-distribution procedure.

Abstract: A method and system for compressing a tree with a plurality of nodes that each may be associated with a node identifier and a parent node identifier. The method may comprise for each node in the tree determining whether the current node is to be deleted, if the current node is to be deleted updating a list of deleted nodes such that the node identifier of the current node may be stored; a parameter representing a number of nodes currently having been deleted from the tree may be stored, such that the parameter is associated with the node identifier of the current node, and updating the node identifier and the parent node identifier of the current node as a function of the list of deleted nodes. Each node in the tree is visited only once.
