  • Patent number: 11372837
    Abstract: An aspect includes concurrently executing two or more transactions over a database. A plurality of transactions is executed in parallel while recording each transaction's sensitivities and output deltas. A sensitivity of a transaction identifies an aspect of a database state whose modification has a potential of altering an output of the transaction, and an output delta of the transaction indicates a change to the database state that is a result of the transaction being executed. The output deltas are fed from a first transaction through a filter for a second transaction. The filter is based on the second transaction's sensitivities. The filtered deltas are processed in the second transaction to incrementally compute revised deltas and sensitivities for the second transaction. For each transaction that successfully commits, the transaction's deltas are applied to update the database.

  • Patent number: 10719513
    Abstract: Salient sampling for query size estimation includes identifying two or more columns in a database table that have corresponding columns in one or more other tables. One or more hash functions are applied to domains of each of the identified columns. A first hash function is applied to a domain of the first column and a second hash function to a domain of the second column. A subset of the rows in the database table is selected. The selecting includes selecting rows in the database table where results of the first hash function meet a first numeric threshold and selecting rows in the database table where results of the second hash function meet a second numeric threshold. A sample database table corresponding to the database table is created. The sample database table includes the selected subset of the rows in the database table.

  • Patent number: 7739224
    Abstract: A method of defining a well-formed database system by defining the organization of the data in the database, and by defining the operations for that data, is described. The definition can be used to automatically create and populate the well-formed database system. The well-formed database system conforms to rules of correctness and produces results that conform to the rules. The organization is defined by a data organization definition that specifies tables, their columns, and the relationships between tables. The operations define procedures that operate on the tables and the table columns. Importantly, the operations are defined along with the tables, columns, and relationships, so that the resulting system is well-formed.
