  • Patent number: 11947515
    Abstract: Unsorted sparse dictionary encodings are transformed into unsorted-dense or sorted-dense dictionary encodings. Sparse domain codes have large gaps between codes that are adjacent in order. Unlike spare codes, dense codes have smaller gaps between adjacent codes; consecutive codes are dense codes that have no gaps between adjacent codes. The techniques described herein are relational approaches that may be used to generate sparse composite codes and sorted codes.

  • Patent number: 11893029
    Abstract: A streaming ingest platform can improve latency and expense issues related to uploading data into a cloud data system. The streaming ingest platform can organize the data to be ingested into per-table chunks and per-account blobs. This data may be committed and may be made available for query processing before it is ingested into the target source tables. This significantly improves latency issues. The streaming ingest platform can also accommodate uploading data from various sources with different processing and communication capabilities, such as Internet of Things (IOT) devices.

  • Patent number: 11836130
    Abstract: The present invention provides for employing SQL to introduce blockchain technologies into a relational database, and thereby leverage the inherent tamper-resistant properties of blockchain, without the need to completely rewrite existing or legacy relational database software. The invention creates a relational database inside of a blockchain and uses a conventional SQL interface for standard database operations. This reduces the burden of introducing blockchain technologies, while providing the benefits of the intrinsic security and verification features of blockchain technology. The invention provides a rich historical record of every transaction thereby greatly reducing, if not eliminating, the relational database's susceptibility to tampering. This allows for temporal queries on arbitrary records within the database and the generation of reports and audits for any point in the history of the database.

  • Patent number: 11829384
    Abstract: Updates for transactions to a replication log for a database may be amortized. As updates are received as part of an active transaction, replication log records may be generated. When the size of replication log records exceeds a transaction size threshold, the replication log records may be stored in a remote data store instead of a local data store. When a request to commit the active transaction is received, an replication log for the database may be updated to include the replication log records from a transaction data object in the remote data store.

  • Patent number: 11815936
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs stored on computer-readable media, for providing contextually-relevant database content. Techniques are described for monitoring conditions of a computing device and detecting when database content is relevant to a current context of the computing device. In some implementations, a first computing device is monitored to detect actions of the first computing device that involve calendar data for a user. In response, a determination that text corresponding to the calendar appointment includes a term associated with a particular entity is made. Data for a user information card including information related to the particular entity is obtained. The first computing device is then caused to display the user information card or an interactive control configured to initiate display of the user information card.

  • Patent number: 11809916
    Abstract: The subject technology performs a locking operation on a first set of keys by a first statement of a first transaction. The subject technology determines that a conflict occurred between the first statement and a second transaction. The subject technology determines that the second transaction has yet to complete after a predetermined period of time. The subject technology performs a deadlock detection process where the subject technology stores a key and value in a table indicating the first transaction and the second transaction, detects, based at least in part on a graph traversal of the table starting from the first transaction, a cycle between the first transaction and the second transaction, and determines that the first transaction is a youngest transaction in the detected cycle. The subject technology ceases execution of the first transaction in response to the first transaction being a youngest transaction in a detected cycle.
