  • Publication number: 20130232045
    Abstract: One or more computers retrieve records of transactions to be analyzed together. Each record identifies a date of a transaction, an amount of the transaction, a person associated with the transaction, and a category into which the transaction is classified. The one or more computers automatically prepare in computer memory, a set of tuples (also called “vectors”) corresponding to a set of persons identified in the retrieved records. Each tuple corresponds to one person, and each tuple includes at least one number representing a count within each category, of transactions classified therein, e.g. total number of cash transactions in category X. Then, the one or more computers automatically identify a subset of outliers, e.g. by grouping the tuples into clusters using k-means clustering, followed by marking in memory an indication of inappropriateness of any transaction that had been included in the count of a tuple now identified to be outlier.

  • Patent number: 8086645
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for executing query statements, or portions thereof, in parallel without using slave SQL to communicate to each slave the operations to be performed by the slave. Instead of generating one cursor for the query coordinator (QC) based on the original statement, and separate cursors for each DFO based on the slave SQL, the techniques involve sharing the cursor that is generated from the original statement among the various participants involved in the parallel execution of the operations specified in the original statement.

  • Publication number: 20110208559
    Abstract: Automatic management of networked publisher-subscriber relationships in an advertising server network. The method comprises steps for constructing a directed graph representation comprising at least one publisher node (e.g. an Internet property), at least one subscriber node (e.g. an Internet advertiser), at least one intermediary node (e.g. an Internet advertising agent), and at least one edge (e.g. an advertising target predicate) wherein any one of the edges is directly associated with at least one target predicate. The directed graph representation is used in conjunction with an inverted index for retrieving a valid node list comprising only nodes having at least one target predicate that matches at least one event predicate. The event predicate (as well as any target predicate) is any arbitrarily complex Boolean expression, and is used in producing a result node list comprising only nodes that concurrently match the event predicate with an advertising target predicate and are reachable.

  • Patent number: 7958160
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating execution plans for, and executing, database statements that contain filter subqueries. Upon receiving a database statement that contains a filter subquery, the database server builds an execution plan that includes a filter operation that is fed by a subtree that corresponds to the subquery. The database server performs a cost analysis to determine whether (1) the filter operation should be parallelized, and (2) the subquery tree should be parallelized. Techniques are also described for generating plans and executing queries where (1) both the filter operation and the subquery subtree are parallelized, (2) the filter operation is parallelized but the subquery subtree operation is performed serially, and (3) the filter operation is performed serially but the subquery subtree operation is parallelized.

  • Publication number: 20110035259
    Abstract: A modeling system to evaluate cost-based viability of a real-time, auction-based advertising system with third-party integration includes an exchange server configured to receive advertising bids, create bid requests to third-party entities based thereon, and select a winning bid from responses to the requests. A computer, coupled with the exchange server: computes a plurality of valid paths from publishers to and from the third-party entities through the exchange server; estimates server and network costs, including fixed hardware costs and variable operational costs, amortized over a predetermined period of time, based on a number of average queries per second (QPS) transmitted at different portions of the valid paths; compares current periodic fees paid by the third-party entities to the amortized costs, to determine cost-based system viability; and determines updates, if needed, to the periodic fees based on the plurality of costs to maintain cost-based system viability.

  • Patent number: 7877379
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for delaying evaluation of expensive expressions in a query. Expensive expressions in the query are established by cost information or by looking up a list of known expensive expressions for a match. After an execution plan is determined by using the early evaluation technique, one or more equivalent execution plans is established. The one or more equivalent execution plans may include both a type of execution plans that delay evaluation of expensive expressions and a type of execution plans that do not. In addition, the one or more equivalent execution plans may include both parallelized and non-parallelized alternatives to the execution plan identified by the early evaluation technique. Finally, based on a set of criteria, which may include comparing cost information among all the equivalent execution plans generated thus far, the best execution plan is chosen for the query.

  • Patent number: 7814091
    Abstract: Various techniques are described for processing database commands that include MINUS and/or INTERSECT operators. The queries containing the MINUS and/or INTERSECT operators are transformed to create a plurality of transformed queries. Each of the transformed queries produces the same result as the original query, but does not include the MINUS and/or INTERSECT operator. To achieve the same result set as the original query, the transformed queries employ equijoins, antijoins, and/or semijoins, and duplicate elimination operations. Costs are estimated for each of the various transformed queries. Based on the cost estimates, one of the transformed queries is selected as the query that is to be executed to perform the operations specified in the original query.

  • Publication number: 20100228634
    Abstract: An online advertising system integrates third party agents to permit the third party agents to participate in auctions to bid on a per opportunity basis. An advertising exchange module receives requests for opportunities to serve online advertisements to users. In response, an advertising exchange module applies one or more business rules to determine third party agents that qualify to serve the online advertisement. A bid gateway module generates and transmits requests for bids to the third party agents. The bid gateway module then receives bids from the third party agents in response to the requests for bids. The advertising exchange module then selects an advertisement based on the bid. The online advertisement exchange system provides a unified marketplace to permit integrator networks to bid on both ads pursuant to guaranteed contracts and ads not subject to guaranteed contracts (e.g., non-guaranteed ads).
