  • Patent number: 12045246
    Abstract: A data query and retrieval system receives a query request and identifies a plurality of data warehouses, or stores, where data needed to satisfy the query is stored. Data items, or fields, called for by the query request are grouped into sets based on fields stored at the same data warehouse. Individual data connections are generated for each data warehouse accessed, and a database view defined for the fields available at each respective data warehouse. The individual views are invoked in a single query statement by a query processor for accessing the respective data warehouses via the corresponding database view. In this manner, a query operator or user need not define multiple query expressions or perform separate queries for accessing data fields or dimensions residing at different data warehouses.

  • Patent number: 12045236
    Abstract: Techniques for join elimination are described herein. Join elimination can identify and eliminate unnecessary joins in a query plan node. For example, join elimination can involve a semantic query optimization technique, which removes reference to a table whose columns are only referenced in join predicates if the joins do not filter/expand rows in the result. Such joins can cause significant performance issues on larger datasets if not optimized.

  • Patent number: 12045277
    Abstract: Example methods and systems for indexing fingerprints are described. Fingerprints may be made up of sub-fingerprints, each of which corresponds to a frame of the media, which is a smaller unit of time than the fingerprint. In some example embodiments, multiple passes are performed. For example, a first pass may be performed that compares the sub-fingerprints of the query fingerprint with every thirty-second sub-fingerprint of the reference material to identify likely matches. In this example, a second pass is performed that compares the sub-fingerprints of the query fingerprint with every fourth sub-fingerprint of the likely matches to provide a greater degree of confidence. A third pass may be performed that uses every sub-fingerprint of the most likely matches, to help distinguish between similar references or to identify with greater precision the timing of the match. Each of these passes is amenable to parallelization.

  • Patent number: 12026127
    Abstract: An illustrative data storage management system relies on a specially configured proxy server to operate software containers on a proxy server, maintain resources needed by the software containers, and interwork with other system components. Illustratively, a catalog service on the proxy server maintains a software cache according to maintenance rules and also maintains an associated cache catalog. The software containers are generally managed and operated by an illustrative container manager also hosted by the proxy server. The illustrative software cache comprises contents needed by the software containers, such as pre-configured container templates, DBMS software components, lightervisors representing target operating systems, and storage management software for performing test and storage operations. The maintenance rules govern when cache contents should be purged and moved into offline archive copies.
