  • Translation of object queries involving inheritence
    Patent number: 7650357
    Abstract: Join expressions, expressed in terms of objects, are translated into a relational database join statement by generating a parse tree based on the join expression. The parse tree is traversed to build the relational database join statement.

  • Result set formatting and processing
    Patent number: 7359912
    Abstract: The select list for the query is thus constructed such that it produces a result set having a predefined structure. Columns representing identifier properties of an entity are added to the select list. If the entity is an inheritance entity or a collection, then entities from a least derived entity to all descendants are identified and columns representing their identifiers are added to the select list and columns representing non-inherited properties for those entities are added. If the entity is not an inheritance entity or a collection, then columns representing properties of the entity are added to the select list.

  • Method for specifying and parsing expressions
    Patent number: 7254808
    Abstract: A method of processing an expression includes encoding an expression in source code of an object-relational application, the expression having at least one property of a class. The source code is then compiled to provide run time code, wherein compiling of the expression produces a form of the expression having the intent of the expression by maintaining all operators and operands of the expression.

  • Querying an object for properties
    Patent number: 7162469
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for querying a database system. An object query identifies a partial set of properties of an object to be returned. A portion of the relational database containing those properties is identified and only those properties are returned.
