Abstract: A method of visualizing data is performed at a computing device. A user selects a field in a data structure. The field has a set of field values and an associated field name. Each field value corresponds to a record in the data structure. The field values are words in a natural language. For each field value, the process builds a term set of base terms including the field value and the field name. The process retrieves a set of images from an image corpus according to the term sets. The process then selects an image from each retrieved set of images and displays data from the data structure in a data visualization. Each record in the data structure is displayed using the corresponding selected image. Each selected image is displayed, instead of the field value, at a location in the data visualization according to data in the respective record.

The program also determines a result set of records in the table that satisfy the condition based on records in the set of zones. The program further sends the result set of records to the requestor.

Abstract: Various of the present embodiments convert structured data to a channel-based representation facilitating pattern recognition by a compression utility. The channels may include a key channel, a number channel, a type channel, a length channel, etc. These channels reflect the same information as the structured data, but reorganized based upon the structured data's hierarchic structure. The encoder and decoder may include rule sets specifying the relations between the channels to deconstruct/construct the JSON file. Memoization, length encoding, and type encoding extensions may also be applied as part of the encoding/decoding process to further improve compression.

Abstract: In a database system, an archive table data specifies a pre-defined archive time period based on which a periodic archive procedure is performed and a pre-defined purge time period based on which a periodic purge procedure is performed. Based on the periodic archive time period being reached, a new partition is created in a transaction database, which is used as a live partition into which the database stores transaction records which are new; and an expired transaction database partition is moved to the archive database using a database partition feature whereby data in the partition is moved as a whole. Based on the periodic purge time period being reached, an expired archive database partition is removed from the archive database using the database partition feature, wherein data is deleted as a whole from the archive database based on the archive database partition being removed.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects include the database management system detecting that a first data storage medium includes a first set of data of a database. The first data storage medium has a first access-factor. The database management system detects that a second data storage medium includes a second set of data of the database. The second data storage medium has a second access-factor which differs from the first access-factor. Based on a data storage relationship, the database management system determines a query plan to access both the first set of data with respect to the first data storage medium and the second set of data with respect to the second data storage medium. The database management system establishes the query plan.

Abstract: A metadata-driven file system prioritizes the distribution of files across different storage devices based on arbitrary file metadata matching to different file usage scenarios defined within one or more workflows or taxonomies. The file metadata may be tagged with different key-value pairs from the defined workflows or taxonomies. Upon receiving a file or file access request, the metadata-driven file system matches the file metadata to a key-value pair combination of the taxonomy, and stores the file to a storage device that is selected using a storage rule that is defined for the matching key-value pair combination. The taxonomy may be defined with other programmatic file operations that the metadata-driven file system may perform against files with matching metadata.
