  • Patent number: 10423498
    Abstract: A method for reliable data synchronization within a network is disclosed. The producer system stories data in a persistent data store and produces one or more data updates. The producer system simultaneously transmits the data updates to a consumer system and initiating storage of the data updates at the producer system. When storage of the data updates at the producer system is complete, the producer system transmits a first acknowledgment to the consumer system. The producer system determines whether a second acknowledgment has been received from the consumer system, wherein the second acknowledgment indicates that the consumer system has successfully stored the data updates at the consumer system. In accordance with a determination that the second acknowledgment has been received from the consumer system, the producer system changes the temporary status of the data updates stored at the producer system to a permanent status.

  • Patent number: 10372693
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program. The program receives a query for a set of records in a database system having values in a field of a table that fall within a range of values. The program also determines a number of bits used to represent the values in the field of the table. The program further determines a set of operations to perform on the values in the field of the table based on the determined number of bits. The program also performs the determined set of operations on the values in the field of the table in order to identify the set of records in the database.

  • Patent number: 10242050
    Abstract: A database system provides a non-volatile cache memory layer for caching pages for a set of database from the database system. The non-volatile cache memory layer may include a non-volatile cache for caching pages for a database from the set of database on the database system. The non-volatile cache may be configured through invoking a configuring stored procedure persistent on the database system. A request is received at the non-volatile cache memory layer for performing an operation on a page from the database on the database system. Based on the received request and an identification of the page, a caching operation is performed on the non-volatile cache memory layer. The caching operation is associated with the request. Data associated with the requested operation on the page is stored and organized on the NV cache memory layer.

  • Patent number: 10133777
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for eliminating redundancy when generating intermediate representation code. An embodiment operates by traversing a query execution plan, and for at least one operator in the query execution plan, determining whether the operator is derived from a parent class operator. If it is determined that the operator is derived from the parent class operator, source code for the native access plan is generated using one or more code generator functions corresponding to the parent class operator and/or one or more generator functions specifically corresponding to the child class operator. If it is determined that the operator is not derived from the parent class operator, source code for the native access plan is generated using one or more code generator functions corresponding to the operator.

  • Patent number: 10114848
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples is a method, the method including detecting that an RDMS is recovering from a failure; sending a request for a last committed transaction on a replication component to the replication component; receiving, from the replication component, the last committed transaction which identifies a transaction that was the last committed transaction at a replication component at a time of RDMS failure; determining that a transaction log on the RDMS includes a transaction that had not yet been replicated at the time of RDMS failure which was committed on the transaction log subsequent to the last committed transaction received from the replication component; and based on that determination rolling back the transaction that had not yet been replicated at the time of RDMS failure.

  • Patent number: 10102242
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for handling bulk initial downloads of databases to mobile devices. Rather than straining the resources of a mobile device to recreate the database locally, a server can construct the database to the mobile device's requirements at the server by impersonating the mobile device. The server can then send the database, compressed and over an encrypted session, to the mobile device. The mobile device can then decrypt and uncompress the pages received, and then encrypt them using a local key for secure storage on a local storage device.

  • Patent number: 10033682
    Abstract: A message identifier collector may collect message identifiers identifying sent messages having been sent by originating devices and identifying received messages of the sent messages that have been received at corresponding recipient devices. A message identifier matcher may match a sent message identifier for a sent message of the sent messages with a received message identifier for a corresponding received message of the received messages at a corresponding recipient device, and a delivery notification generator may send a delivery notification to an originating device of the originating devices that originally sent the sent message, thereby indicating receipt of the message at the corresponding recipient device. A delivery notification network path along which the message identifiers and the delivery notification are sent is different from a message delivery network path along which the message is sent.
