  • Patent number: 11016970
    Abstract: Trace data is received for a first execution of a first query on first tables having first data values. Second data values are generated for second tables from the trace data and without accessing the first data values. The second data values are configured to reproduce, by a second execution of a second query, the evaluation states from the first execution. Evaluation states from the first execution are reproduced without accessing the first data values by performing the second execution of the second query on the second data values. The first execution evaluates only a first subset of the first data values and the generating the second data values from the trace data generates second data values corresponding to the first subset. The second execution only evaluates ones of the second data values that correspond to data values of the first subset.

  • Patent number: 10970279
    Abstract: Trace data is received that was captured for an execution of a query on first tables when execution trouble occurs during an execution of the query on the first tables. Trace data includes counts of evaluation states caused by the execution and includes identifications of portions of the query that reference variables of the first tables and that correspond with the evaluation states. Second tables are generated from the evaluation state counts and the identifications of the trace data without accessing data values of the first tables, so that the first tables are kept private. Evaluation states are reproduced from the execution of the query on the first tables by executing the query on the second tables without accessing the data values of the first tables.

  • Patent number: 10394808
    Abstract: Trace data is received that was captured for a execution of a first query on first input data. The trace data associates clauses of the first query with respective evaluation states that arise during the execution. Second input data is generated from the trace data without accessing the first input data. An execution of a second query is performed on the second input data, wherein performing the execution of the second query on the second input data reproduces evaluation states from the execution of the first query on the first input data.

  • Patent number: 7480726
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for communicating features supported by a device to at least one other device. The method includes providing a bit stream by the device, where at least one bit in the bit stream represents a feature supported by the device. In a second aspect, a method for establishing a communication session between at least two devices includes initiating communication between a first device and a second device, exchanging a bit stream associated with the first device and a bit stream associated with the second device, and identifying mutually supported features.
