Abstract: In some examples, a system receives delimiter separated value (DSV) data, and categorizes a character in the DSV data into a selected layer of a plurality of layers, where characters in a first layer of the plurality of layers comprise data characters, characters in a second layer of the plurality of layers comprise delimiters, and characters in a third layer of the plurality of layers comprise grouping symbols to group a string of characters into a semantic unit. The system parses the DSV data according to the categorizing.

Abstract: A multi-parameter data type framework can, among other things, provide a more comprehensive, systematic, and/or formal mechanisms for determining an appropriate data type for a data set. For example, the multi-parameter data type framework can be used to allow analytic tools to virtually automatically figure out an appropriate data type for a set of data values.

Abstract: A relational database management system (RDBMS) accepts a workload comprised of one or more queries against a relational database. The RDBMS evolves a default cost profile into a plurality of cost profiles using fixed or dynamic evolution, wherein each of the cost profiles captures one or more cost parameters for the workload. The cost profiles are represented by a multi-dimensional matrix that has one or more dimensions, and each of the dimensions represents one of the cost parameters. The RDBMS dynamically determines which of the cost profiles is an optimal cost profile for the workload by mapping the cost profiles to the workload using a random walk scoring algorithm or a biased walk scoring algorithm that searches the multi-dimensional matrix to identify the optimal cost profile. The RDBMS selects and performs one or more query execution plans for the workload based on the optimal cost profile for the workload.

Abstract: A technique that supports improved debugging of kernel loadable modules (KLMs) that involves allocating a first portion of a memory and detecting a first kernel loadable module (KLM) requesting an allocation of at least a portion of the memory. The first KLM is then loaded into the first portion of the memory and a first identifier is associated with the first KLM and the first portion. The access of a second portion of the memory by the first KLM, the second portion being distinct from the first portion is detected and an indication that the first KLM has accessed the second portion is generated.
