  • Patent number: 11514406
    Abstract: In some embodiments, environment solutions are received from local solution control centers for respective companies. The environment solutions generated from environmental data received from multiple environments being operated by a respective company. The environment solutions for the environment solutions are converted to anonymous environment solutions and the environmental data to anonymous environmental data. The method applies first machine learning logic to the anonymous environment solutions for the environment solutions to generate first set of solutions and applies second machine learning logic to the anonymous environmental data to generate second set of solutions. The first set of solutions and the second set of solutions are tested for comparable solutions. One of the first set of solutions and the second set of solutions is then selected based on the testing.

  • Patent number: 11514027
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for storing a large object (LOB) in a database. An embodiment operates by identifying the LOB to be stored in an on-disk store of the database and determining the size of the LOB. Thereafter, an index vector for the on-disk store to include an identifier corresponding to the LOB is created. Additionally, a dictionary for the on-disk store to include a copy of the identifier and corresponding LOB data is also created. The LOB data corresponds to the LOB itself or a LOB location inside of the on-disk store based on the LOB's size.

  • Patent number: 11514044
    Abstract: Embodiments allow automated provisioning of a plan upgrade for databases hosted in storage environments. A database is hosted in a shared storage environment according an existing plan, based upon consumption of available system resources (e.g., processing, I/O, memory, disk). An agent periodically issues requests for information relevant to database behavior (e.g., performance metrics, query logs, and/or knob settings). The agent collects the received information (e.g., via a domain socket), performing analysis thereon to predict whether future database activity is expected remain within the existing plan. Such analysis can include but is not limited to compiling statistics, and calculating values such as entropy, information divergence, and/or adjusted settings for database knobs. Based upon this analysis, the agent communicates a recommendation including a plan update and supporting statistics.

  • Patent number: 11514028
    Abstract: System, method, and various embodiments for providing a hybrid data storage and load system are described herein. An embodiment operates by receiving a lookup request comprising a row identifier (ROWID) corresponding to a row of a table of a database. Which of a first set of pages corresponds to a sorted position of the ROWID is identified. The identified page of the first set of pages is loaded from the disk storage to the memory storage. A sorted row position of the ROWID is identified from a memory block of the loaded page from the first set of pages. One of a second set of pages that includes the sorted row position is identified. The identified one of the second set of pages is loaded from the disk storage into memory. The loaded identified one of the second set of pages is searched for the unsorted position of the ROWID.

  • Patent number: 11514040
    Abstract: A global dictionary is described that corresponds to a database or table stored across multiple partitions. The global dictionary can be used to identify which partitions of the database contain records that are relevant to a user's query on the database. The global dictionary is made up of variable tables. Each variable table corresponds to a column of the database. A given variable table includes value tables where each value table corresponds to a defined value that has been assigned to a record in the database. A value table can include a list of partitions that contain a record having the related defined value.

  • Patent number: 11514119
    Abstract: A global filter allows data filtering using attributes across multiple Analysis Tools (ATs), by broadcasting semantic filter context objects. Upon selecting object attribute values, the filter context object is created with attribute names and values. A processing engine resolves the filter context object to a data object, and then subsequently to target data. A lateral filter finds related entities in a relational database, without having to maintain and/or duplicate all of the data into a graph database. The processing engine resolves lateral filters using an entity graph path calculation conducted in conjunction with the generation of a bootstrapped graph structure. That graph structure is constructed (bootstrapped) utilizing available database schematic information—e.g., pre-calculated (key) relations and metadata read from the relational database. From that information, relationships in the bootstrapped graph structure are determined.

  • Patent number: 11509622
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for connecting a client of a first network to a service of a second network. The method includes registering the service of the second network. The method then receives, from a client of the first network, a request to communicate with the service, the client not having an address of the service. The method further assigns an IP address to the service and sends the IP address to the client. Additionally, the method sends, to an inter-network hub that connects the first network and the second network, a message in order for the inter-network hub to establish a first tunnel between the inter-network hub and a first gateway associated with the client and a second tunnel between the inter-network hub and a second gateway associated with the service.
