Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for bookkeeping of download stamps are described herein. An embodiment includes augmenting database table (or mobile business object) metadata with a synchronization (“sync”) key and assigning a unique identifier to each sync key. A sync key is assigned to one or more rows (or records) in the database table and a download timestamp is associated with each sync key. The embodiment further includes identifying a sync key associated with each row in the database table. Links between rows occurring in different database tables are maintained using sync keys. In this way, embodiments of the invention allow a server to record a download timestamp of database table subsets, where such subsets may include one or more rows in the database tables. This allows data to be downloaded by a client at subset granularity.

Abstract: Embodiments include a method, apparatus and computer program product for providing instructions from a database client to a database server. The method includes the steps of receiving from a database a representation of a first instruction and an associated identifier. The representation of the first instruction and the associated identifier are stored in a cache. A second instruction, from an application, is matched with the representation of the first instruction stored in the cache. The associated identifier is retrieved from the cache based on the matching and the associated identifier is sent to the database server. Upon receipt of the associated identifier, the database server executes the first instruction.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for generating a range of ordinals corresponding to key values represented in a B-Tree data structure. This allows for a boundary point, usable, for example, for partitioning the B-Tree for parallel processing, to be specified using an ordinal value of the range of ordinals. Then an ordinal-to-key transformation can be performed in order to identify a key value corresponding to the boundary point. Additionally, ordinal values can be identified through the use of key-to-ordinal transformations, allowing for specification of ranges, for example, in terms of key values.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for compiling a stored procedure in a database.

Abstract: A secured database system with built-in antivirus protection is described. In one embodiment, for example, a method of the present invention is described for securing a database system, the method comprises steps of: provisioning storage from a storage device, for storing database information; generating an encryption key so that the database information is stored on the storage device in an encrypted manner; generating a decryption key for decrypting the database information stored on the storage device, wherein access to the decryption key is controlled by the database system based on user privileges; receiving a request from a user for access to the database information; determining whether the user has been granted sufficient privileges to access the database information; if the user has been granted sufficient privileges, automatically decrypting the database information to provide the access; and otherwise denying the request if the user has not been granted sufficient privileges.

Abstract: Systems, methods, computer program product embodiments and combinations and sub-combinations thereof for data caching and cache synchronization are described herein. An embodiment includes comparing data in a cache with data stored at a data source and determining database operations needed to synchronize one or more partitions of the cache with the data source. Each cache partition is associated with mobile business object (MBO) metadata of a distinct mobile device and the determined database operations are executed to synchronize the partitions with the data source. By refreshing only those partitions which are pertinent to a given device, embodiments of the invention may increase parallelism by allowing multiple partitions to refresh concurrently. The embodiment further comprises reviewing a caching policy associated with the cache. The caching policy may be selected in a manner that reduces data traffic and redundant requests on the data source.

Abstract: Reducing contentions between processes or tasks that are trying to access shared resources is described herein. According to embodiments of the invention, a method of writing a set of data associated with a task to a memory resource is provided. The method includes calculating the amount of memory required to write said data to the memory resource and updating an expected end marker to reflect the amount of memory required to write the data to the memory resource. A flag is then set to an incomplete state, and the data is written to the memory resource. The flag can be set to a complete state and an end marker is updated. The end marker indicates the end of the data stored in the memory resource.
