Patent number: 12253916Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to a database recovery routine to start up a database system in response to a database failure. The database system accesses checkpoint information identifying a set of active database transactions that were active at a flush point that occurred before the database failure. As a part of the database recovery routine, the database system replays database transactions that occurred between a recovery point and the flush point. The database transactions include the set of active database transactions but exclude any committed or aborted database transactions that occurred between the recovery point and the flush point such that less than a total number of database transactions occurring between the recovery point and the flush point are replayed. The database system further replays, without excluding committed or aborted database transactions, database transactions occurring between the flush point and a recovery end point at which the database failure occurred.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Akshay Manchale Sridhar, Matthew Woicik, James E.

Patent number: 12250197Abstract: A system is disclosed for acquiring and managing data regarding external IP (EIP) addresses of services offered in a trusted public cloud environment. The system monitors an application program interface of a service executing in a trusted public cloud environment for occurrence of an event that is related to an EIP of the service. When an event is detected, the system extract EIP related data and metadata of the service, generates a message with the extracted EIP data, and posts the message to a central message queue. The system monitors the message queue for the presence of a new message. Upon detecting a new message, the system processes the message, extracts EIP related data. metadata, and identifies an action. A central database that stores EIP related information of services executing in the trusted public cloud environment is updated based on the identified action.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2021Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Adam J.

Patent number: 12248443Abstract: Techniques are disclosed pertaining to migrating a database between different storage clusters. A computer system identifies a current state of the database that is managed by a database application that enables a client application to access data of the database stored at a first storage cluster. The computer system copies first particular data of the database that is associated with the current state from the first storage cluster to a second storage cluster. After the copying, the computer system transitions the database application into a read-only mode in which it processes read but not write traffic. The computer system copies, from the first storage cluster to the second storage cluster, second particular data of the database that was generated by the database application during the copying of the first particular data. The computer system may also instantiate another instance of the database application in association with the second storage cluster.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Milena Bergant, Hefeng Yuan, Hemanth Siddulugari, Nithya Muthukrishnan
