  • Database column refresh via replacement
    Patent number: 11068451
    Abstract: According to an example, a system may receive a refresh column command for a column-oriented database. The refresh column command may identify a table in the column-oriented database and a denormalized column in the table. The system may determine column definitions for the column, generate a query to populate values from a data source associated with the column into the column based on the column definitions, and may execute the query to replace entire set of existing column values with the data source values.

  • Flexible schema table
    Patent number: 11042516
    Abstract: In an example, a flexible schema table may be schematized. Records from the flexible schema table may be queried and, for keys in the records, a data type is estimated for each key. View columns may then be selected from the keys based on a predetermined condition. A view of the flexible schema table may be created from the selected view columns, wherein the view includes the view columns and the data types for the view columns.

  • CANDIDATE PROJECTION ENUMERATION BASED QUERY RESPONSE GENERATION
    Publication number: 20210182293
    Abstract: In some examples, candidate projection enumeration based query response generation may include obtaining a query, and identifying, based on the query, a plurality of candidate columns from at least one table to respond to the query. Using a tree-based model, the candidate columns may be analyzed to generate a candidate set of projections to respond to the query. Each candidate projection of the candidate set of projections may include a sort order associated with at least one candidate column of the candidate columns, a segmentation key value associated with at least one candidate column of the candidate columns, and a replication value associated with the candidate projection. Based on the candidate set of projections, a response to the query may be generated.

  • ASYMMETRIC QUORUM PROTOCOL BASED DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION DATABASE CONSISTENCY CONTROL
    Publication number: 20210182270
    Abstract: In some examples, asymmetric quorum protocol based distributed transaction database consistency control may include determining, by a set of primary participants of a cluster, whether a cluster-wide quorum has been reached to commit a transaction associated with a distributed transactional database. Further, based on the determination by the set of primary participants that the cluster-wide quorum has been reached to commit the transaction, instructions to a set of secondary participants of the cluster may be sent to commit the transaction. The set of secondary participants may be configured to comply with a determination by the set of primary participants to commit or to not-commit the transaction.

  • Parallel batch metadata transfer update process within sharded columnar database system
    Patent number: 11010367
    Abstract: A database management system includes a cluster of nodes over which a columnar database has been sharded into shards to which the nodes are subscribed. Source nodes of the cluster store up-to-date metadata objects for the shards, and target nodes of the cluster storing out-of-date metadata objects for the shards. A coordinator node initiates a parallel batch metadata transfer update process in which the out-of-date metadata objects at the target nodes are updated in parallel from the up-to-date metadata objects at the source nodes. The coordinator node can determine pairs of source nodes and target nodes; the source node and the target node of each pair respectively store an up-to-date metadata object and an out-of-date metadata object for a same shard.

  • Graph database and relational database mapping
    Patent number: 10984046
    Abstract: Examples for mapping a relational database to a graph database include a mapping engine to execute an arbitrary query on a relational database, identify a result column tag based on a tag of an underlying base table, process the result column into a typed, directed property graph based on the result column tag, and output the typed, directed property graph to a graph database. Examples for mapping a graph database to a relational database include processing a graph transaction by updating a mapping layer with a surrogate describing a change to a database object, determining, for an object in the mapping layer, if a database constraint defined on the object is satisfied, collecting database changes defined by the surrogate into a database change request, submitting the change request to a relational database as a transaction, and deleting the surrogate for the object in the mapping layer.

  • Execution of testing processes on apparatuses
    Patent number: 10986221
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium that the processor may execute to initiate a testing process of the apparatus following a boot up of the apparatus, in which a popup message is displayed on the apparatus following the boot up and the popup message blocks performance of the testing process and in which the apparatus is to enter into a lock mode following the popup message being displayed. While the apparatus is in the lock mode, the apparatus may be caused to emerge from the lock mode, in which emergence from the lock mode is to dismiss the popup message from being displayed on the apparatus. In addition, execution of the testing process of the apparatus may be continued following dismissal of the popup message.
