  • Optimization of temporal and spatial data processing
    Patent number: 8296343
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and program for processing temporal data. A spatial query is received specifying a mapping function that identifies a set of temporal values for one or more objects. Geographic positions are automatically extracted from each set of temporal values for each of the one or more objects. Point objects are generated from the geographic positions. One or more spatial objects are generated from the point objects.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 9, 2008

  • TRANSPARENT INTERFACE TO A MESSAGING SYSTEM FROM A DATABASE ENGINE
    Publication number: 20050080759
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and article of manufacture, implementing the method, interfaces a messaging system to a database management system. The database management system has at least one database command to access a table. A messaging system has at least one messaging system command to access a message queue. The message queue is accessed as a table in accordance with the database command. In another embodiment, a virtual table is associated with the message queue. The message queue is accessed through the virtual table in accordance with the database command.
