  • Patent number: 9396189
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a structured document management device includes a parser; a constraint acquiring unit; and a parse tree rewriting unit. The structured document receiving unit is configured to receive an input of a structured document having a layered logical structure. The parser is configured to parse the syntax of received query data to acquire a parse tree in which the query data is decomposed so as to meet a static single assignment form which is defined such that each variable is assigned exactly once. The constraint acquiring unit is configured to acquire a hierarchical condition that the variables of the parse tree need to meet and constraints that include conditions for values of the respective variables. The parse tree rewriting unit is configured to rewrite the query data in such a form that the structured document is refinable by the constraints.

  • Patent number: 9378301
    Abstract: A structured document searching apparatus that stores structured document data each including hierarchized elements stores a data stream in which the elements included in the structured document data are arranged in the order of the syntactic analysis result, and stores while at least one index stream in which the elements included in the structured document data and serving as an index in a structured document data search are arranged in the order of the syntactic analysis. The structured document searching apparatus creates a scanning plan that instructs the scanning of the data stream and the index stream, based on a search criterion for the structured document data search, and executes the scanning of at least either one of the data stream and the index stream instructed by the scanning plan.

  • Patent number: 8595215
    Abstract: A plan combining unit combines a plan including all predicate nodes by increasing a size of a subplan stepwise while selecting the subplan with a low cost using an analysis graph generated by a query analyzing unit and plan combination constraint data extracted by a constraint extracting unit. The analysis graph is the one expressed by a graph including a variable node corresponding to a variable to which an object on a database is bound and a predicate node indicating a condition between the variable nodes. The plan combination constraint data represents a constraint to a plan and a subplan extracted from the analysis graph as a condition between the nodes.

  • Patent number: 8271523
    Abstract: In a structure where a table is partitioned into multiple databases according to a certain partitioning method, a coordinator server changes allocation information that is used to determine a database into which each of data records should be registered when an allocation change command is issued. The coordinator server stores therein allocation history information, which is the allocation information used before the change. When an entry request to make an entry of a new data record from a client, a database to enter the new data record is determined based on the stored allocation history information and the changed allocation information, and an entry request is sent to a database server having the determined database.
