Patent number: 11429668Abstract: Multidimensional databases are well-suited for viewing data at different levels of detail. Graph databases are well-suited for modeling data sets with complex relationships. A novel platform for analysis and planning is enabled by linking multidimensional and graph databases. Graphs are data structures stored in graph databases. Graphs use nodes and edges to model data elements, some of which are derived. A graph is traversed to derive new data elements. To perform analysis on the graph data elements, graph traversal paths are stored as tuples in a fact table. This fact table is in turn loaded into the multidimensional database by mapping the fact table's attribute columns to dimensions of the multidimensional database.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Workday, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Shore, Huned Botee, Joe Kuo, Suresh Balasubramhanya

Patent number: 11403280Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are related to Master Data Management (MDM) technologies. Each DB entity (record) in component databases (DB) is represented as a judgment, and an MDM system unifies judgments obtained from the component DBs into a unified set of judgments. In the unified set of judgments, linkages are judgments asserting that particular DB entities from different DBs are the same/similar, and a golden record comprises field values describing each of the DB entities. In making judgments, the MDM system consolidates judgments (or records) describing the same subject into a single judgment, and performs updates to field values in a manner that does not violate referential integrity. Each update is associated with an MDM consistent state. Updates in the form of judgments are provided to the relevant component DBs, which are converted into serializable transactions associated with respective MDM consistent states. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: SALESFORCE.COM, INC.Inventor: Matthew D. Fuchs

Patent number: 11392588Abstract: A query result set is an example of a type of body of data whose content is defined by a query. Modifications to a database can change the result of a query and therefore what the content of such a body of data, such as a result set, should be. Active Queries is an approach that enables a database server to detect database changes that alter the result of a query registered for a client and to notify a client of those changes. The notifications may be sent to, for example, a cache manager responsible for maintaining coherency of a result set cache generated by the query. The notification notifies the cache manager of when and/or what changes are needed to maintain the coherency of the cache.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2004Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Amit Ganesh, Bipul Sinha, Srinivas Vemuri
