  • Patent number: 11797500
    Abstract: The system ensures database validity by obtaining a data structure representing data processing blocks and a data flow among the data processing blocks. A first data processing block includes a first data input and the second data processing block includes a second data output. The system obtains controls associated with the data structure, where a first control corresponds to the first data output, and a second control corresponds to the second data input. The system obtains data to be processed by the first data processing block, processes the data through the first data processing block, and executes the first control based on the processed data. Based on the execution, the system determines whether the processed data satisfies the first control. If the processed data does not satisfy the first control, the system generates an alert indicating a problem with the output data validity.

  • Patent number: 11768832
    Abstract: A SQL database system is disclosed for reading and writing a non-SQL document store using SQL. The database system includes a SQL query engine configured to use different types of dynamically loadable connectors adapted to communicate with the non-SQL document store via its data access interface. The connectors may include a first connector that treats data within an individual document in the document store as multiple table rows, and a second connector that treats individual documents as individual table rows. In some embodiments, both types of document access modes may be implemented by a single multi-modal connector. In some embodiments, the connector may enable a table to be stored across multiple documents and provide the document identifier of the documents as an attribute of the table. Advantageously, by allowing multiple rows to be stored in individual documents, a table can be stored using less storage space and accessed more efficiently.
