In an embodiment, a computer hosts a DBMS that executes a data definition language (DDL) statement that defines, in a database dictionary of the DBMS, a JSON document column of a database table that stores JSON documents as instances of the JSON datatype that is native in the DBMS. The DBMS may autonomously set or adjust configuration settings that control behaviors such as a default width of a JSON document column, in lining or not of the JSON document column, kind and scope and duration of indexing of the JSON document column, and/or caching of the JSON document column such as in an in memory columnar unit (IMCU). The DBMS may use the various configuration settings to control how JSON documents and the native JSON datatype are stored and/or processed.

Abstract: Techniques described herein allow a user of an RDBMS to specify a graph algorithm function (GAF) that takes a graph object as input and returns a logical graph object as output. GAFs are used within graph queries to compute temporary and output properties (“GAF-computed properties”), which are live for the duration of the query cursor execution. GAF-computed output properties are accessible in the enclosing graph pattern matching query as though they were part of the input graph object of the GAF. Temporary cursor-duration tables are generated for the query cursor during compilation of a graph query that includes a GAF, and are used to store the GAF-computed properties. Each temporary table corresponds to one of the primary tables of the input graph, and includes, as a foreign key, primary key information from the corresponding primary table. Thus, the input graph of a GAF may be a “heterogeneous” graph.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein relate to methods, apparatus, and systems for forming an interconnect structure, or a portion thereof, on a substrate. In one example, the method includes receiving the substrate in a processing chamber, the substrate having dielectric material exposed within recessed features formed therein; exposing the substrate to plasma to thereby modify a top surface of the dielectric material; forming a metal oxide barrier layer on the modified top surface of the dielectric material, wherein the metal oxide barrier layer is formed through atomic layer deposition and/or chemical vapor deposition. In certain implementations, one or more additional step may be taken to improve processing results, for example to promote nucleation and/or adhesion of relevant layers.

Abstract: Techniques described herein allow a user of an RDBMS to specify a graph algorithm function (GAF) declaration, which defines a graph algorithm that takes a graph object as input and returns a logical graph object as output. A database dictionary stores the GAF declaration, which allows addition of GAFs without changing the RDBMS kernel. GAFs are used within graph queries to compute output properties of property graph objects. Output properties are accessible in the enclosing graph pattern matching query, and are live for the duration of the query cursor execution. According to various embodiments, the declaration of a GAF includes a DESCRIBE function, used for semantic analysis of the GAF, and an EXECUTE function, which defines the operations performed by the GAF. Furthermore, composition of GAFs in a graph query is done by supplying, as the input graph argument of an outer GAF, the result of an inner GAF.
