Patent number: 11630849Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, computer program product, and method to merge two or more heterogeneous datasets. Seed attributes of each dataset that is the subject of the merge are identified. The seed attributes are derived from candidate attributes of the respective datasets.

Patent number: 11593311Abstract: An electronic device, including a compression subsystem with a comparator, a history buffer, a match detector, and a command generator, performs operations for generating compressed data from original data. The compression subsystem, starting in each cycle of a clock, processes a search string that is copied from original data to generate commands for compressed data. For processing each search string, the comparator compares each of N substrings from the search string with stored data from the history buffer to find matches between the substrings and the stored data. The match detector then determines a longest match for each of the substrings. The command generator next selectively outputs commands for the compressed data based on the longest matches for the substrings.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: ATI TECHNOLOGIES ULCInventor: Vinay Patel

Patent number: 11556537Abstract: Aspects of the current subject matter are directed to executing queries on tables in which one or more columns contain a single value. Upon execution of a query, columns in which a single value is contained are identified, and a pre-compiled code entry containing relevant identifying information is compiled as part of a query execution plan. The query execution plan is used for subsequent query executions, alleviating the need to access the columns during the subsequent query executions that involve the columns. A fingerprint value may be used to track if changes to relevant tables occur.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Paul Willems, Christina Teflioudi, Till Merker
