  • Method and apparatus for executing stored code objects in a database
    Patent number: 8707279
    Abstract: A system, method and database development tool are disclosed for automatically generating parameters for use in executing a stored code object in a data base, by parsing source code derived nom existing data base code which represents the stored code object, wherein the parameters may represent complex data types.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for automatically generating database queries
    Patent number: 8019750
    Abstract: A method of tuning a database query includes selecting a database query, parsing the selected database query to determine relationships between portions of the selected database query, selecting an optimization mode from a plurality of available optimization modes, tuning the selected database query by modifying, at least one portion of the selected database query based on the determined relationships and the selected optimization mode and displaying the modified database query.

  • System and method for recursive path analysis of DBMS procedures
    Patent number: 7526468
    Abstract: A system, method and database development tool are disclosed for automatically generating the complete dependency graph for use in debugging stored code objects in a database, by using a recursive dependency tracking algorithm which takes into consideration the indirect dependencies on triggers as well as the dependencies on implementations of object oriented code objects which are represented as separate objects in the database catalog.
