Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program product embodiments for auto-correction in database replication are disclosed herein. An embodiment includes receiving a log record of one or more database row changes on a table marked for replication. From the received log record, one or more insert operations on the marked table are identified. Each identified insert operation is automatically replaced with a first pair of operations, where each first pair comprises a delete operation associated with a new insert operation. Each first pair, when executed at a replicate database, acts to delete data at a first location identified by each identified insert operation prior to inserting data of the new insert operation at the first location.

Abstract: System, method, computer program product embodiments and combinations and sub-combinations thereof for replication resynchronization are provided. An embodiment includes providing a mode of operation in a replication control system for repopulating a replicated version of a primary database that does not affect an ability to continue activity in the primary database. Further included is managing the repopulating of the replicated version with attention to at least a resynchronization marker.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided to efficiently allocate extremely large storage spaces for use by dynamic hash tables. A contiguous storage space is designated from which dynamic hash tables can be created. These dynamic hash tables benefit from rapid allocation by being able to reserve many allocation units (each potentially comprising a large number of pages, e.g., 256 pages) within a short span of time, rather than resorting to reserving individual pages. The efficiency from allocation and the contiguous space significantly improves performance for databases in the 50 GB-100 GB size range.

Abstract: System, methods and computer-readable mediums for generating a visual representation of a continuous computation language (CCL) document. The CCL document includes one or more CCL statements. For each CCL statement, a text-to-visual mapping module converts each CCL statements to visual objects as a representation of instruction logic of the CCL document graphically on a display device.

Abstract: A computer software language capable of expressing registered queries that operate on one more or more data streams continuously. The language of the present invention is based on a publish/subscribe model in that queries subscribe to data streams and publish to data streams. Also, the language of the present invention can express queries that operate directly on data streams. Since queries expressed in the language of the present invention may be executed continuously and directly on data streams, the language includes a clause for specifying time-based and/or row-based windows for the input data stream. Operations are then performed on the data within such windows. In one embodiment, the language is also SQL-like and includes a clause for defining named windows (which can be used in any number of queries); a clause for detecting a pattern, and correlated database subqueries for correlating data stream data with database tables.

A selection, by a user, of a component to include in a visual representation of a data transformation model (DTM) is received. Logic corresponding to the selected component is arranged in the DTM, wherein the selected component and the logic are compatible with a plurality of implementations of SQL. SQL code corresponding to the logic is generated, wherein the generated SQL code is specific to a selected one of the plurality of SQL implementations.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for multicast database replication are described herein. An embodiment includes creating a replication group for replication of data. One or more replicate (or target) databases are subscribed to the replication group and the replication group may include one or more subscribed replicate databases. The replication group is associated with a replication group address. Embodiments send (or publish) data that is to be replicated to the replication group multicast address causing automatic replication of the data to the subscribed replicate databases. In this way, by sending data to be replicated once to a replication group address, the data is automatically replicated to several subscribed replicate databases and a replication server need not establish distinct point-to-point connections with each replicate database.
