Abstract: Computer implemented methods for executing a database query in a database using an electronic computing device are presented, the method including: causing the electronic computing device to provide at least one data structure including at least one object having at least two properties of different data types; identifying a property of the at least one data structure that includes the smallest unique values in terms of type of data stored in that particular property; executing the database query, including any limiting parameters, configured to retrieve only data from the property including the smallest unique values that arc retrievable for a record; retrieving a predefined number of results of the executed database query; and for each set of predefined number of retrieved results, executing a new database access thread that is configured to retrieve data that are present in the records identified with the smallest unique values.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods for storing ad hoc relations between previously unrelated database objects assigned to different database structures using an electronic computing device are presented, the methods including: causing the electronic computing device to define at least three database structures: structure A, structure B and structure C, where each of the at least three database structures each includes a number of objects, where there exists at least one relation between objects of structure A and objects of structure B, and where there exists at least one relation between objects of structure B and objects of structure C; filtering data of structure A; accessing structure B using a first selected relation between structure A and structure B; storing information about filtering of structure A and information on a first selected path between structure A and structure B; filtering results obtained from structure B.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for creating and managing a database system comprising data structures for storing, in a memory, data and relations between the data, the method comprising the steps of creating a mind map structure wherein each node of the mind map represents a set in the first data structure and each branch represents a relation in the fifth data structure of the database in which there are defined five data structures that hold all information relating to tables, records and relations, namely: a first data structure comprising a definition of at least one data set, a second data structure comprising definitions of properties of objects, a third data structure comprising definitions of objects, a fourth data structure comprising definitions of properties of each object, a fifth data structure comprising definitions of relations and a sixth data structure for storing definitions of relations between objects.
