  • Patent number: 11741007
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to manage use of a global pool of memory comprising at least a portion of the runtime-managed heap. A request to reserve use of a portion of the global pool of memory is received from each of a plurality of transactions comprising a transactional workload of a database management system. A corresponding portion of the global pool of memory is allocated to each of at least a subset of the requesting transactions, to be used as a local pool of memory available to be used by the transaction to process the transaction.

  • Patent number: 11714803
    Abstract: A system for handling Implicit transactions in a hybrid cloud cache. The hybrid cloud cache maintains folders in a metadata file system that includes a hierarchy of cached folders, and maintains a meta-file containing metadata of files and folders. The system obtains a meta-file from a cloud platform and compares that to a meta-file obtained from the hybrid cloud cache. An object associated with an Implicit metadata transaction is transferred to an internal namespace of the hybrid cloud cache if the comparison indicates that certain conditions are met. The system may perform a bottom-up traversal of the namespace and may abort the traversal if an outstanding explicit transaction for the object is present or the object exists in the cloud platform. An object may be moved to a temporary storage location if there is no explicit transaction on it and the object does not exist in the cloud platform.

  • Patent number: 11687524
    Abstract: Disclosed are database systems, computing devices, methods, and computer program products for identifying recurring sequences of user interactions with an application. In some implementations, a server of a database system provides a user interface of the application for display at a computing device. The database system stores data objects identifying a first plurality of user interactions with the application. The server receives information representing a second plurality of user interactions with the application. The server updates the database system to further identify the second user interactions. The server identifies a recurring sequence of user interactions from the first and second user interactions as resulting in a first target state of the application. The server updates the database system to associate the recurring sequence of user interactions with the first target state of the application.

  • Patent number: 11681672
    Abstract: A computer implemented system and method allow database performance testing and improvement. The method comprises using a database system (DBS) for embedding a virtual resource simulation system (VRSS) into a node of the DBS, loading a new configuration parameter of a database into the VRSS, receiving, by the VRSS from the DBS, an action control block (ACB), and dynamically activating and assigning a service task by a service task dispatcher of the VRSS to process the ACB. The method further comprises simulating a process of database execution based on a content of the ACB by creating a limited database internal data structure that is based on the ACB and the new configuration parameter, and manipulating the limited database internal structure to produce a simulation result. The method further comprises utilizing a metric associated with the simulation result of the new configuration parameter in the simulated process of database execution.

  • Patent number: 11675789
    Abstract: A storage control system manages a utilization of data blocks of a storage volume which is partitioned into data blocks having a unique block identifier (ID) and a same block size. The storage control system receives data items and assigns a respective unique data ID to each data item, which include consecutive data IDs. The data items are written to a free data block as a whole, and a record for the written data block is inserted into a node of a first tree structure. The record includes the unique block ID of the written data block, a first data ID of the data items, and a bitmap which maps the consecutive data IDs of the data items in the written data block, starting from the first data ID, to a respective bit whose value indicates whether the data item associated with the data ID is valid or invalid.

  • Patent number: 11645258
    Abstract: A technique for retaining a context in which data resides independently of a data store from which the data originates is disclosed. In relation to a method aspect of the technique, a computer-implemented method provides data with related first metadata, both originating from a data store and extracts the data and the related first metadata independently from the data store. A universal unique identifier of a portion of the data to which portion specific first metadata exists is created as part of the related first metadata. The universal unique identifier of the portion of the data is integrated into the related first metadata, thereby creating modified first metadata as an independently manageable and linkable representation of the related first metadata.

  • Patent number: 11625389
    Abstract: Methods for snapshot isolation query transactions in distributed systems are performed by systems and devices. Distributed executions of queries are performed in a processing system according to an isolation level protocol for data management and data versioning across one or more data sets, one or more compute pools, etc., within a logical server via a single transaction manager that oversees the isolation semantics and data versioning. Read transactions of queries are performed lock-free via the isolation semantics, and instant rollbacks, point-in-time queries, single-phase commits in the distributed systems are also provided. Abort and cleanup operations are performed based on a distributed abort protocol and a determined oldest active transaction for the system in which the single transaction manager does not track read-only transactions, and client nodes do not maintain commit tables for transactions.
