  • Publication number: 20230195922
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sharing database roles using hidden roles. A database role may be generated within a database container having a plurality of data objects, wherein the database role exists exclusively within the database container. A set of grants to a particular subset of the plurality of data objects of the database container may be assigned to the database role and the database role may be granted to the share object. The share object is mounted within a consumer account to generate an imported database container within the consumer account, the imported database container including an imported copy of the database role. The imported copy of the database role may be granted to each of one or more account level roles of the consumer account to share the particular subset of the plurality of data objects without creating proxy objects in the consumer account that represent the particular subset of the plurality of data objects.

  • Patent number: 11645244
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for an efficient method of replicating share objects to remote deployments. An example method includes receiving, at a first deployment in a data exchange, a refresh message from a second deployment in the data exchange, wherein the first deployment comprises a database that stores a database object. The method also includes, in response to receiving the refresh message, retrieving, at the first deployment, a share grant from a share object of the first deployment and transmitting, by a processing device of the first deployment, a message including the share grant to the second deployment. The share grant includes a reference to the database object and allows a consumer to use the database object.

  • Patent number: 11487893
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for defining database roles to allow sharing of the objects within a database in a more granular fashion. A set of database roles is created within a database container of a provider account, each database role comprising a separate object from any of a plurality of objects within the database container. A set of grants to a particular subset of the plurality of data objects of the database container is assigned to each of the set of database roles. A share object to which each of the set of database roles has been granted is mounted within a consumer account, thereby generating an imported database container having an imported copy of each of the set of database roles within the consumer account. Certain imported copies of the set of database roles are granted to account level roles of the consumer account.

  • Publication number: 20220292413
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a bike sharing rebalancing optimization method based on an adaptive neighborhood search algorithm. First, based on a difference between locations of shared bikes and users' travel demands in temporal and spatial distribution, a bike sharing rebalancing model is constructed. Next, an adaptive neighborhood search algorithm is constructed by using an adaptive operator selection mechanism and based on the fusion of a large neighborhood search algorithm and a neighborhood search algorithm. Then, seven types of perturbation operators, six types of repair operators, and eight types of neighborhood search operators are designed based on features of rebalancing time, pickup-and-delivery actions, and a capacity limit of a vehicle. Finally, a termination condition is constructed such that the algorithm terminates at an appropriate time and an optimization solution for a rebalancing route is provided.

  • Patent number: 11366920
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for defining database roles to allow sharing of the objects within a database in a more granular fashion. A database role is created within a database, and privileges are granted to the database role by a provider account. The database role may be granted to a share object, which would result in the share object being indirectly granted all privileges that have been granted to the database role. Once the share object has been hydrated in the consumer account, the local administrator can then decide which local roles are granted usage on the shared database role, thus ultimately allowing some level of filtering as to which shared objects can be accessed by which local roles.
