Abstract: A system for and method of generating an API or an API template for use with a map service. The API, e.g., URL when invoked in a WMS server or WMTS server, causes generating a metadata for a set of one or more areas of interest (AOIs) and one or more date ranges. The metadata provides access to a dataset of surveys via getmap or gettile requests. The API is dynamic in that the effect of the API (the metadata generated) is automatically updated whenever there has been a new survey added in the set of AOIs and date ranges. The API template is for a TMS service, and when populated, provides for causing any tiled map in the set of AOIs and date ranges to be displayed.

Abstract: Queries that reference materialized views may be rewritten to compensate for stale materialized views. A query may be received that references a materialized view. A determination may be made as to whether the materialized view is stale. For a stale materialized view, the query may be rewritten to generate a query plan that obtains changes made to base tables for the materialized view not included in the stale materialized view and considers the change(s) when generating a result for the query from the materialized view. The rewritten query may then be performed to provide a result as if the materialized view were up-to-date.

Abstract: A method of computing a join pattern agnostic aggregate function includes loading source code and parsing the source code to identify different database query operations. In response to the identification of an aggregate function in one of the different database query operations in which records in multiple tables are joined together in a table join, a multiplicity of primary keys are retrieved, each corresponding to a different one of the multiple tables and also an object of one of the tables referenced by the identified aggregate function. An existence of a fan out condition associated with the table join is then computed. On condition that an existence of the fan out condition is not computed a non-fan out sensitive implementation of the aggregate function is invoked with respect to the object. But, otherwise, a different, fan-out sensitive implementation of the aggregate function is invoked with respect to the object.

Abstract: A database is stored as a plurality of database shards in a distributed database grid comprising a plurality of grid elements, each including a mid-tier database system. A first grid element receives, from an application executing in the same memory as a mid-tier database system of the first grid element, a first database transaction including at least one database operation on specific data stored in a first database shard that belongs to the first grid element. The first grid element performs and commits the first database transaction without participation of another grid element of the plurality of grid elements. The first grid element receives a second database transaction that requires access to another database shard that does not belong to the first grid element. Multiple grid elements of the plurality of grid elements perform the second database transaction and commit the second database transaction using a two-phase commit protocol.

Abstract: A combined configuration rules-attribute configuration system uses an integrated configuration model to efficiently identify and attribute prioritize valid configuration answers. Submitting an attribute-based configuration query to the combined configuration rules-attribute configuration system allows the query to be answered in a single step. The combined configuration rules and attribute data guide product configuration processing and minimize configuration processing by, for example, calculating only the valid configuration answers that are candidates for the preferred valid answer(s). Thus, the combined configuration rules-attribute configuration system can minimize the number of valid configuration answers to be considered for presentation to a client system or other user of the combined configuration rules-attribute configuration system.
