  • Explain tool for optimizing SPARQL queries
    Patent number: 10474675
    Abstract: As disclosed herein a method, executed by a computer, for enabling a SPARQL explain tool that provides query execution statistics via an explain plan includes initiating a database query comprising a SPARQL query pattern, optimizing the database query according to query semantics and database metadata to produce an optimized query, and generating an explain plan for the optimized query. The explain plan may include a sequence of operations and an execution time, an input, and an output for each operation of the sequence of operations. A computer system, and a computer program product corresponding to the method are also disclosed herein.
    Type: Grant

  • Pre-generation of structured query language (SQL) from application programming interface (API) defined query systems
    Patent number: 8601016
    Abstract: A method is provided for receiving source code that includes an application programming interface (API) defined query written to communicate with an API. The API is configured to provide access to an object relational model (ORM) for converting, during execution of the source code, the API defined query into a dynamic structured query language (SQL) query comprising SQL statements. The method also includes generating a static SQL query that includes SQL statements. The static SQL query is generated in response to the ORM and to the API, by a computer, prior to the source code being executed.
