Abstract: System, method, computer program for fast bulk loading data into database while bypassing exit routines. Method for bulk loading of data into database tables with exit routines defined for operations on such tables, method characterized by existence of exit routines is by-passed by performing data preprocessing in batch mode before loading; and loading preprocessed data into database by performing operations on lower level of tablespace and index spaces where database tables reside and not on database tables themselves.

Abstract: A novel approach is proposed for centralized administration of a multikey for a plurality of clients at a set of remote office/branch offices (ROBOs). A multikey having a set of properties, permissions, and policies is first associated with a secure item present at one or more of the ROBOs. A set of respective instances of the multikey are then generated for the ROBOs having the secure item, and the set of properties, permissions, and policies are associated with each of the respective instances of the multikey automatically. The instances of the multikey are then provided to the set of ROBOs for the encryption or decryption of the secure item present at the ROBOs.

Abstract: A method for a user computer to selectively activate a feature of a software package executing on the user computer includes receiving a feature activation license from a remote server and activating an inactive feature originally present in the software package.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for managing cryptographic keys and performing cryptographic services within server or other computing environments. An appliance functions as a cryptographic key server to secure cryptographic keys and provide cryptographic operations as a network service.
