Abstract: Additional date term granularity may be added to query results and query interfaces used to append query results. Initially, a partial execution of a query may be triggered to identify fields and field types. Fields may be classified as date fields based on their field type. The query may be appended to compute one or more time periods for each classified date field. Each time period may identify a broader time period than the data included in a corresponding classified date field. A query result, which may include the computed time period(s) and time period field(s), may be generated from the execution of the appended query.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to graphical representation and/or automatic generation of an iteration rule in mapping design that is to integrate or transform one or more input data sets into another target data set. The input and output data set can be of flat or hierarchical in nature. In an embodiment, a graphical interface allows users to specify an iteration rule (e.g. JOIN operation in a relational database) in a tree-like structure (e.g. a JOIN tree). The interface allows users to visualize and implement complicated and powerful combinations of multiple data sets, including data sets exhibiting hierarchical structure. Drag-and-drop techniques may be employed to reduce the need for manual typing. Also disclosed are procedures automatically generating an iteration rule based on the data mapping information, thereby reducing a need for manual mapping.

Abstract: An enterprise database is accessed through semantic labels to develop models that enhance the database. A database of business objects is accessed, the business objects including data tables that relate semantic labels to enterprise data. One or more rules that use the semantic labels are applied to select enterprise data corresponding to the semantic labels. The selected enterprise data are used to determine modeling parameters that relate a semantic-label input set to a semantic-label output set, the semantic-label input set and the semantic-label output set each including at least one of the semantic labels. The modeling parameters are used to generate a simulation table that predicts an operational range of at least one business object corresponding to at least one of the semantic labels. The at least one business object is augmented in the database by including the simulation table in the at least one business object.
