  • System and Method for Intelligent Caching
    Publication number: 20130142117
    Abstract: As mobile subscribers increasingly employ their wireless devices to perform an ever expanding range of activities, it has become more and more important for all of the different entities in a wireless ecosystem (e.g., wireless carriers, intermediaries, service providers, etc.) to complete their processing activities in the most efficient, expeditious, flexible, etc. manner possible. An intelligent caching mechanism, through which for example various of the results of a preparatory step may be preserved for subsequent reuse, can inter alia incrementally reduce processing time, reduce system and network resource consumption, save money, etc.

  • Auto-correction in database replication
    Patent number: 8417669
    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.
