Patent number: 8140961Abstract: An automated method to align column values to proper byte boundaries for rapid scanning in a parallel processing database system. A table definition is received having a logical order of fields. The fields are re-ordered to create a physical order of fields. The physical order of fields has fixed length fields having a same byte alignment requirement positioned adjacent to each other in descending order from largest size to smallest size, and wherein a first fixed length field in the physical order is aligned on a proper byte boundary. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Brian Shaun Vickery, Anoop Sharma, Vinita Subramanian

Patent number: 8104020Abstract: A method and system to automate software testing using sniffer side and browser side recording and a toolbar interface are described. In one embodiment, a system tests programming code associated with a website and creates a first test case. In another embodiment, the system includes a testing device having a test interface to enable a user to initiate a first test case and to store a first HTML representation and a first XML representation of encrypted web pages viewed during the first test case. In another embodiment, the system includes a sniffer server that operates as a proxy server for the website and stores a second HTML representation and a second XML representation of unencrypted web pages viewed during the first test case. The system may include a hosting server that hosts the website and receives the first and the second HTML and XML representations from the testing device and the sniffer server when the test case is terminated via the test interface.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2009Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Anoop Sharma, Ramu Korlipara, Binh Nguyen

Patent number: 6397227Abstract: A database management system includes an execution engine that, upon rollback of an aborted transaction, has the ability to set fields of the rows that are updated or deleted by the transaction prior to aborting. In particular, when a select, update or delete statement includes a “set on rollback” clause, the respective table access operator of the execution engine modifies the “before image” of each row that is stored by the transaction log manager. The modified before image includes the field updates specified by the set on rollback clause. If a transaction associated with the statement aborts, when the transaction log manager restores the before images of each row that was deleted or updated by the transaction, the restored before images include the field updates specified by the set on rollback clause.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1999Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: Compaq Computer CorporationInventors: Johannes Klein, Robbert C. Van der Linden, Raj K. Rathee, Anoop Sharma

Patent number: 5511190Abstract: A structured query language (SQL) grouping and aggregation system and method that incorporates hash-based techniques, several overflow handling strategies and statistics-based process-selection criteria. The method can execute SQL group-by queries on distributed database tables or tables stored locally to the database management system (DBMS) processor executing the grouping method. Hash-based techniques allow groupings and aggregates to be generated on the fly through the use of partial aggregates maintained in primary memory. Where primary memory is limited, groups and aggregates are still generated for as many groups as can be maintained in primary memory, while various overflow procedures are provided for buffering ungrouped data and writing that data to an overflow disk file for later processing. In one overflow procedure, raw data from groups that cannot be aggregated in primary memory are buffered then written to the overflow disk file.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1995Date of Patent: April 23, 1996Assignee: Tandem Computers, Inc.Inventors: Anoop Sharma, Hansjorg Zeller
