  • Systems and methods for employing a trigger-based mechanism to detect a database table change and registering to receive notification of the change
    Patent number: 7836031
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for employing a trigger based mechanism to detect changes in a database table, providing a notification when the database table changes and registering to receive the notification. The systems and methods employ a listeners table to store information associated with registered database tables. Alter a database table changes, a trigger mechanism associated with the database change facilitates a search of the listeners table for a parameter associated with the changed database table. If the changed database table is registered, the information from the listeners table is provided to a delivery service which transmits a message indicating the registered database table changed. After receiving the message, a notification runtime service can route a notification to a client(s) registered to receive the notification. The foregoing mitigates performing time intensive queries and utilizing inconsistent query results.

  • Partial page output caching
    Patent number: 7594001
    Abstract: A method provides for output caching of a portion of a web page, and thereby allows the cached portion to be used in web pages for a predetermined period of time without the need to regenerate that portion of the web page. A server computing system receives a request for information from a client computer system. The server computing system creates, in response to the received request, a page having portions. When an output cache contains a portion of the page, the portion of the page contained in the output cache is retrieved from the output cache and when the output cache does not contain a portion of the page, the portion of the page not contained in the output cache is retrieved from another source. The contents of the page are then sent to the client computing system.

  • Systems and methods for caching and invalidating database results and derived objects
    Publication number: 20040193656
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for saving results generated from database queries such as raw data, objects, queryable data sets, full or partial web responses, in memory for current and subsequent utilization and invaliding the saved results when they become inconsistent to mitigate employing inconsistent results. The saved results can be employed by one or more components and are typically utilized when a subsequent query would return substantially similar results. Thus, the system and methods mitigate performing substantially redundant queries that can reduce performance and consume resources. When a database change occurs that affect the consistency of the saved results and/or expiration period lapses, an invalidation message can be transmitted, wherein the message is employed to invalidate the saved results. Thus, the systems and methods mitigate employing inconsistent saved results.
