Abstract: Techniques are described herein for analyzing data streams in conjunction with relational database data in a DBMS. A database dictionary defines one or more columns for an external table and a data source for said external table that comprises an external message stream. Executing a query that targets the external table includes generating one or more rows from the external table, each row corresponding to a message in the external message stream that was retrieved from the external message stream after a message stream offset.

Abstract: A shape generation system can generate a three-dimensional (3D) model of an object from a two-dimensional (2D) image of the object by projecting vectors onto light cones created from the 2D image. The projected vectors can be used to more accurately create the 3D model of the object based on image element (e.g., pixel) values of the image.
