  • Patent number: 11567978
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for executing queries expressed with reference to a structured query language against unstructured data. A user issues a structured query through a traditional structured data management (“SDM”) application. Upon receiving the structured query, an SDM driver analyzes the structured query and extracts a data structure from the unstructured data, if necessary. The structured query is then converted to an unstructured query based on the extracted data structure. The converted unstructured query may then be executed against the unstructured data. Results from the query are reorganized into structured data utilizing the extracted data structure and are then presented to the user through the SDM application.

  • Patent number: 9229696
    Abstract: A common intermediate representation for a data scripting language is provided for efficient representation and direct specification of programming constructs in memory. The common intermediate representation of data scripts allows data intensive applications to be created and analyzed in a machine accessible format, and the elements of the common intermediate representation can be stored independent of underlying storage specifics. Stored elements of the common intermediate representation of code are thus available for fast loading in memory when desired by other applications and programs by mapping the stored elements to the in memory intermediate representation.

  • Publication number: 20150113503
    Abstract: A method includes receiving credentials at a computing device. The credentials are evaluated to determine whether a user associated with the credentials is authorized to edit an application while the application is being executed. Upon determining that the user is authorized, an editing control is enabled. The editing control is associated with a graphical user interface (GUI) element of the application and is operable to update the GUI element during execution of the application.

  • Patent number: 8949784
    Abstract: An efficient, logical and expressive type system is provided for flexibly defining types of a declarative programming language so that efficient and structurally compact data intensive applications can be generated. The type system supports the combination of refinement types and type membership expressions, as well as a top type that encompasses all valid values as members. With the type system, types can be expressed as intersections and/or unions of other types. Thus, types can be efficiently represented for a full range of types of data as may be found in real world data stores.
