Publication number: 20220405276Abstract: A system includes a relational database management system component and a column-oriented data processing component. The relational database system component stores database information in a row format. The column-oriented data processing component stores the database information in a column format. In response to a database update request, the relational database management system component updates the database information stored in the row format; the relational database management system component notifies the column-oriented data processing component of the database update request; and the column-oriented data processing component updates the database information stored in said column format. In response to a query request, the column-oriented data processing component generates a query response based on the database information stored in said column format. In this manner, the system is able to generate up-to-date reports without the need for extraction, translation and loading procedures.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Hasso Plattner, Anja Bog, Jan Schaffner, Jens Krueger, Alexander Zeier

Patent number: 11494406Abstract: This document described digital decoupling architectures that enable existing computing systems to run in parallel with new computing technologies. In some aspects, a method includes receiving, by a digital decoupling system and from a source computing system, one or more updated data sets that each include data that has been updated at the source computing system. A source data entry of a source table of a database of the digital decoupling system is updated based on each updated data set. In response to detecting the change to the source table, a target data entry that includes data of the updated source data entry is added to a target table of the database. An adapter module obtains the data of the target data entry and generates an event that specifies the data of the target data entry. The event is sent to one or more destination computing elements.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2021Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Alexander Zeier, Dominik Wagenknecht, Alexander Kleber

Patent number: 9542424Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for dynamically and horizontally partitioning a table of a relational database, wherein the table comprises records, wherein the records are mapped to a plurality of states, wherein the table is horizontally partitioned into a plurality of partitions, and wherein the plurality of states is mapped to the plurality of partitions. The method comprises the steps of changing the assignment of a first record from a first state to a second state, wherein the first state is mapped to a first partition, wherein the second state is mapped to a second partition, wherein the first partition is not the second partition, and storing the first record in the second partition. The invention further relates to a computer system implementing the abovementioned method for dynamically and horizontally partitioning a table of a relational database.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2010Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Hasso-Plattner-Institut Fur Softwaresystemtechnik GmbHInventors: Hasso Plattner, Martin Grund, Jens Krueger, Alexander Zeier

Patent number: 9424332Abstract: A system and method of determining an earliest delivery date for a demand on the basis of a fact table stored in a database, where the demand indicates both a desired date and a desired quantity for items from a stock, where a fact time series is comprised by and/or deducible from the fact table, and where the fact time series comprises fact tuples indicating both a fact date and a change in quantity of stock items that occurred on this fact date. The method includes generating an aggregated time series from the fact time series by defining and/or obtaining discrete time intervals, and generating, for at least one discrete time interval, an aggregated tuple indicating both its corresponding discrete time interval and the aggregated change in quantity of stock items that occurred in its corresponding discrete time interval.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2013Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: HASSO-PLATTNER-INSTITUT FUR SOFTWARESYSTEMTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Hasso Plattner, Alexander Zeier, Christian Tinnefeld, Stephan Heinz Mueller, Sebastian Hillig
