  • Patent number: 10606706
    Abstract: A computing device hosts a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computer application, the computer application being run on a backend computing platform accessible to the computing device via a network. The GUI includes multiple models in a Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, an eventing mechanism, and a model synchronizer. Each model in the GUI represents one or more application objects of the computer application. The eventing mechanism generates an application object change event when an application object of one of the multiple models in the GUI is changed to a new state. The model synchronizer listens to the generated application object change event, retrieves the new state of the application object, and locally updates other models of the multiple models in the GUI that also represent the application object with the new state of the application object.

  • Publication number: 20200097587
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for detecting malicious database activity, such as SQL injection attempts. A first machine learning classifier can be trained by comparing processed and unprocessed user input, where a difference between the two can indicate suspicious or malicious activity. The trained classifier can be used to analyze user input before query execution. A second machine learning classifier is trained with a data set that includes call stack information for an application requesting execution of a dynamic query and query statistics associated with processing of the query at the database. The query of the application can be correlated with a corresponding database query by hashing the application query and the database query and comparing the hash values, where matching hash value indicate a common query. The trained classifier can monitor execution of future queries to identify queries having anomalous patterns, which may indicate malicious or suspicious activity.

  • Publication number: 20200089792
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for determining whether an update to be sent to a production database system from a quality database system will provide consistent table relationships if applied at the production database system. These consistency checks can be carried out without transmitting entire table records from the quality system to the production system, which can reduce network traffic. These consistency checks can also reduce performance impacts at the production system, as test condition generation can be carried out at the quality database system. A consistency check method can include the quality database system determining values of updated or added records of a first table that should be consistent with a second table. The test conditions cause the production database system to execute a test to determine whether the values are present in the production system. Consistency violations can be remedied before the update is applied.

  • Publication number: 20200073989
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for determining elements of different database tables have a semantic relationship, and optionally executing a value query using such tables. Tables, including those lacking a technical relationship (such as having a foreign key relationship or association) can be semantically related if an element of the table has the same semantic identifier, such as a domain, as an element of another table. The semantic relationship can exist even if other information, such as field names associated with a respective semantic identifier, are different between the two tables. A source table can be semantically related to one or more other tables, including indirectly based on semantic relationships between two or more of such other tables. Semantic table information can be recursively analyzed, including in a hierarchical manner, to identify a set of semantically related tables. The analysis can be constrained, such as to avoid loops or limit result size or running time.
