Abstract: Differential or selective elective data transformation, which can include compression and/or encryption, is applied to selected data subsets, such as selected table spaces, of a database during a single database operation. In response to a received backup command, a backup utility of a database management system obtains data from a number of data subsets of a source database that are specified for inclusion in a backup image. At least one of the data subsets is specified for data transformation while subsets are not. The data from the specified data subsets is identified in the obtained data, and transformed prior to writing a single backup image to archive media. The backup image therefore contains both transformed and untransformed data. The selection of data subsets for transformation can be made automatically without requiring user specification according to predefined data characteristics including subset size, data type, compressibility, or encryption.

Abstract: A land grid array (LGA) land pad having reduced capacitance is disclosed. The conductive portion of a land pad that overlaps a parallel ground plane within the substrate is reduced by one or more non-conductive voids though the thickness of the conductive portion of the land pad. The voids may allow the contact area of the land pad, as defined by the perimeter of the land pad, to remain the same while reducing the conductive portion that overlaps the parallel ground plane. Capacitance between the land pad and the parallel ground plane is reduced by an amount proportional to the reduction in overlapping conductive area.
