Abstract: Techniques are described herein for simulating triggers in a database. A database server receives a query that targets a database managed by the database server. The database server is registered with a plugin that determines whether the query is a particular type of query. If so, plugin sends a message to an external process that includes features of the query. The database server can also execute the query regardless of whether the particular type of query is detected.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing notifications without breaking media immersion. A notification delivery application receives notification data while a media device provides a media asset. In response to receiving the notification data while the media device provides the media asset, the notification delivery application generates a voice model based on a voice detected in the media asset. The notification delivery application converts the notification data to synthesized speech using the voice model and generates, by the media device, the synthesized speech for output at an appropriate point in the media asset based on contextual features of the media asset.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for heterogeneous database replication from a remote server, for example a remote database server. A capture process can be registered as a replication slave to the remote server, and configured to receive transaction event data from that server. Transaction log events associated with a modification to the database at the remote server can be processed, and output as change data, in a canonical format output, for use with one or more heterogeneous targets, for example a target database server or message queue. The process enables capture of transaction log events associated with database transactions at a remote server that may be located on a different computer or network, or within an access-restricted environment such as a cloud environment, without the need to create additional copies of its transaction logs.
