Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for configuring access controls to a database. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, from a first user, a table declaration for creating a database table in a database; generating, based on the table declaration, the database table; receiving, from the first user, a specification of one or more access mechanisms that have a privilege to access the database table; receiving a designation of at least one column in the database table as a protected column and one or more users who have a privilege to access the content of the protected column; and providing control over access to the content of the protected column based at least in part on the specification of the one or more access mechanisms and the designation of the at least one column and the second user.

Abstract: A system for managing user-controlled security keys in cloud-based scenarios is provided. In some implementations, the system performs operations comprising receiving an information request from a user device via a network, and generating a database query based at least in part upon the information request. The operations can comprise generating a request for a secret key for decrypting encrypted data when the database query requests the encrypted data and/or generating a request for a secret key for encrypting data when the database query requests to encrypt data. The operations can also comprise providing the request to a security key management entity via a network, receiving secret key information from the security key management entity via the network, and using the secret key information to form decrypted data or encrypted data. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

Abstract: Systems and techniques to derive virtual objects at run-time from persistencely stored objects. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes receiving a request for a target object from a requesting application. It is determined whether a delta link is associated with the target object. The delta link includes a location of the target object and information describing a desired difference between the target object and a derived object to be returned to the requesting application. The target object is located and a derived object is generated from the target object and the information in the delta link. The derived object is then returned to the requesting application. The target object, and derived object, may include a number of elements. The elements may be name-value pairs, or “properties”, or a number of child objects in an object hierarchy.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus including computer program products implement techniques for developing and deploying applications using configurable patterns. Configuration data is received for a pattern, and the configuration data is stored in a design store. The pattern defines an arrangement of user interface elements and specifies predefined actions that can be performed using the user interface elements. The configuration data specifies associations between one or more of the user interface elements or one or more objects in a back-end system. The configuration data is transferred from the design store to a design time repository, and the application is deployed corresponding to the configuration data.
