  • Patent number: 11269741
    Abstract: A request to update an original data value in a first row in a database table in a database system. An updated data value is written to a second row in a staging table in the database system. The updated data value corresponds with the original data value. The first row includes a database table key, which is also included in the second row. The original data value in the database table is replaced with a corresponding replacement value, which is determined based on a value replacement update function that takes as input the updated data value. The staging table maintains a record value for reversing the update to the database table.

  • Patent number: 11263202
    Abstract: Scalable implementations of exact distinct counts and multiple exact distinct counts in distributed query processing systems are implemented via systems and devices. Distinct counts and multiple exact distinct counts for identifiers/values are performed based on keys. For distinct counts, datasets including data fields are sorted by values of fields and divided into balanced partitions in distributed servers. Subsets of fields with the same value are partitioned together. Key presence is determined for subsets on each partition, and the number of instances for the key are aggregated for exact distinct counts of values. For multiple distinct counts, fields of a dataset are combined by un-pivoting field columns. Compound keys are generated for combined fields from field identifiers of the combined fields and values of another field. Totals of unique values of the combined fields are determined for values in the counted field based on the compound keys.

  • Patent number: 11256746
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a graph database instance (GDI) maintaining a secondary index, that indexes data from a sparse data map storing graph application data, within a sparse data map dedicated to the secondary index. The GDI formulates row-keys, for the secondary index map, by hashing the values of key/value pairs stored in rows of a map storing application data. The GDI stores for each formulated row-key, in the row of the secondary index that is indexed by the formulated row-key, references to rows of the map storing application data that match the key/value pair on which formulation of the row-key was based. The row-keys into the secondary index map may incorporate bucket identifiers, which, for each key/value pair, allows the GDI to spread the references to graph elements that match the key/value pair among a set number of “buckets” for the key/value pair within the secondary index map.

  • Patent number: 11256676
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for interacting with a distributed database is provided. The database includes plural storage devices. Plural keys are generated and associated with a data item. Plural operations, such as storage or retrieval operations are then initiated on the distributed database. Each operation specifies a different key acting as an index for a corresponding data record. The keys can be generated using functions operating on an initial descriptor. For example, the characters of the descriptor can be reordered to produce new keys. As such, a data item can be stored in multiple different storage devices to provide redundancy.

  • Patent number: 11243923
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for determining a data standardization score for an attribute of a dataset. A data standardization score is calculated, which reflects whether data quality of attribute values would increase if a standardization rule is applied to the attribute values. Based on attribute metadata, it may be determined whether an indication to carry or not to carry out standardization is available for at least part of the attribute values of the dataset. In response to finding the indication, a respective value may be set for the data standardization score. In response to not finding the indication, a data standardization score algorithm may be run on the at least part of the attribute values of the dataset. The data standardization score value may be compared to a predefined criterion to determine whether data standardization is to be applied on the attribute.

  • Patent number: 11243949
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for query execution across multiple graphs. In an example, a graph or isolated collection may be split into multiple subparts, such that each subpart may store information of the isolated collection. Cross-collection reference resources may be used to reference resources that are stored by other isolated collection subparts. A breadth-first search of an isolated collection subpart may be performed in order to identify matches or potential matches in an isolated collection subpart. In an example, a potential match may comprise a cross-collection reference resource, which may reference a resource in another isolated collection subpart. Once query execution has completed in the isolated collection subpart, query execution may be paused and transferred to another isolated collection subpart that comprises a resource referenced by a cross-collection resource reference.

  • Patent number: 11222010
    Abstract: A system receives a user selection of a data object, and outputs the data object to a user device. The system receives a user selection of a data service, and outputs a data service object associated with the data service to the user device. The system receives a user selection of a data field associated with the data object and the data service field, and stores metadata that maps between the data field and the data service field. The system receives a user input, and creates a transformation object that transforms a value associated with the data service field into a value associated with the data field. The system updates an instance of the data object by using the metadata to send request data to the data service, using the metadata to receive response data from the data service, and applying the transformation object.

  • Patent number: 11188619
    Abstract: Single-click delta analysis is disclosed. A user query of status information collected from one or more monitored devices is received from a user. In response to receiving an indication from the user to determine a variance between different portions of the collected status information, a target query and a baseline query are generated using the user query. The generated target query and the generated baseline query are performed, respectively, against data in a data store including the status information collected from the one or more monitored devices. A target set of status information results and a baseline set of status information results are obtained in response to performing, respectively, the generated target query and the generated baseline query. The obtained target and baseline sets of results are combined. Output indicative of a variance between the target and baseline sets of status information results is provided based at least in part on the combining.

  • Patent number: 11188523
    Abstract: A system, method and apparatus in which a client computer initiates and communicates a distributed ledger transaction either to an individual node in a network of distributed ledger nodes or to the network itself, which transaction is labeled with a nanosecond scale timestamp, encrypted using quantum event generated random binary data and then securely transmitted to other ledger nodes in the network at substantially the same time. Networks may consist of traditional wireline and wireless networks, cloud networks and 5G wireless networks in any combination and configuration. Using the invention, distributed ledger networks may take the forms of blockchains, transactionally integrated multiple distributed ledgers, decentralized exchanges, or immutable distributed databases. After the transaction is transmitted, additional messages necessary to the completion of the transaction are communicated between ledger nodes in the network using the same or similar system, method and apparatus.
