Patent number: 8849850Abstract: Techniques for provisioning databases for users on a wide area network such as the Internet include a first party managing one or more database systems. Second parties subscribe to database services supported by the managed database systems. The first party provides, over a network, to database applications of the second parties, access to database services to which the second parties are subscribed. The database systems may use database appliances hosting both database process(es), and non-database process(es) tailored to the needs of the database process(es). A user is therefore able to obtain database resources from an Internet Database Service Provider (IDSP) without incurring the full costs of database administrator(s), dedicated database equipment facilit(ies), or even dedicated database device(s), depending on usage. Meanwhile, the IDSP incurs minimum staffing loads because of self-service tools. Costing model and automatic billing are also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jean-Louis Baffier, Marc Dangeard, Thierry Gruet, Olaf Ziegler, Dean Tan, Christina Sechrest, Pascal Sero, Kevin Walsh

Publication number: 20080306883Abstract: Techniques for provisioning databases for users on a wide area network include a first party managing one or more database systems. Multiple second parties subscribe to database services supported by the database systems managed by the first party. The first party provides, over a network, to database applications controlled by the second parties, access to the database services to which the second parties are subscribed. The database systems may use database appliances. A database appliance includes a database process and a non-database process that is-tailored to the needs of the database process. The wide area network may be a public network of computer networks, such as the Internet.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2001Publication date: December 11, 2008Inventors: Jean-Louis Baffier, Marc Dangeard, Thierry Gruet, Olaf Ziegler, Dean Tan, Christina Sechrest, Pascal Sero, Kevin Walsh

Patent number: 6993657Abstract: Techniques for managing databases include registering multiple databases at a community server. Each database is controlled by a different party. The community server is accessible over a first network to which one or more users from each party have access. Each database is installed on a different network than the first network. The community server receives from a user over the first network a request to perform a management operation relating to a particular database that is controlled by a particular party. The community server determines that the particular database is registered and determines whether the user is authorized to perform the management operation. If the user is authorized, then the community server causes the management operation to be performed. With these techniques, one or more database devices, such as database appliances, can be managed over the Internet with a browser, at least for many common database management functions.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2001Date of Patent: January 31, 2006Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Peter Renner, John-Brown Evans, Christina Sechrest, Pascal Sero, Kevin Walsh
