Abstract: A method of enabling propagated deletion in a distributed database system is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a request to delete data in a distributed database system; causing a display of a relevant dataset and a switch between applying propagated deletion or not; receiving a first selection of a subset of records from the relevant dataset using one or more filter functions and a second selection of applying propagated deletion to the subset of records; and applying propagated deletion to the subset of records to generate a new dataset.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a data processing method comprises, using a distributed database system that is programmed to manage a plurality of different raw datasets and a plurality of derived datasets that have been derived from the raw datasets based on a plurality of derivation relationships that link the raw datasets to the derived datasets: from a first dataset that is stored in the distributed database system, determining a subset of records that are candidates for propagated deletion of specified data values; determining one or more particular raw datasets that contain the subset of records; deleting the specified data values from the particular raw datasets; based on the plurality of derivation relationships and the particular raw datasets, identifying one or more particular derived datasets that have been derived from the particular raw datasets; generating and executing a build of the one or more particular derived datasets to result in creating and storing the one or more particular derived datasets without

Abstract: Techniques for propagation of deletion operations among a plurality of related datasets are described herein.

Abstract: Using a distributed database system that manages a plurality of different raw datasets and a plurality of derived datasets that have been derived from the raw datasets based on a plurality of derivation relationships that link the raw datasets to the derived datasets, a subset of records that are candidates for propagated deletion of specified data values is determined. One or more particular raw datasets that contain the subset of records is determined. The specified data values from the particular raw datasets is deleted. Based on the plurality of derivation relationships and the particular raw datasets, one or more particular derived datasets that have been derived from the particular raw datasets is identified. A build of one or more particular derived datasets to result in creating and storing one or more particular derived datasets without the specified data values deleted from the particular raw datasets is generated and executed.
