  • Patent number: 8010582
    Abstract: A method, system, and program product to migrate data from a data table in a data source to a data table in a target. This is done initiating processes, typically two parallel batch processes, with one of the processes unloading the data from the data source and uploading the data into the data target, and the other of the processes loading the source data into a database at the data target. Preferably the processes are parallel batch process. The processes are initiated from the data target.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080155056
    Abstract: An apparatus for managing data stored in a data storage device connected to a computer. In accordance with the present invention, it is determined that a web page is to be cached. The web page references other objects. The referenced objects are stored in one or more data stores. The web page is cached. The cached web page and the referenced objects are managed in a coordinated fashion to ensure the display of a complete Web page.

  • Patent number: 6832368
    Abstract: A system, method, and article of manufacture for caching a pre-processed version of an interpreted application at the time the interpreted application is first interpreted and executed by a computer, thereby improving response time for subsequent executions of the interpreted application. The pre-processed version of the interpreted application captures all execution paths through the interpreted application, despite the fact that the first execution of the interpreted application may only exercise a subset of the possible execution paths therein. Modifications to the interpreted application are dynamically detected, so that the pre-processed version can be replaced in the cache as needed.

  • Patent number: 6832222
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for processing a request that requires the dynamic generation of a web page. In accordance with the present invention, a request to generate a dynamic web page is received. It is determined whether the request can be satisfied by using a cached web page and whether the userid associated with the request is authorized to access the cached web page. When it is determined that the request can be satisfied and that the userid has the proper authorization, the cached Web page is used to satisfy the request.

  • Patent number: 6735594
    Abstract: A method and system for retrieving data from a database over a network includes: generating an executable statement at a gateway in accordance with a macro language file, where the executable statement comprises one or more a parameter markers; passing the executable statement from the gateway to database software; and passing a value for each parameter marker from the gateway to the database software. The present invention allows the Net.Data gateway to support parameter markers in place of Net.Data variables. This allows the Net.Data gateway to take advantage of the dynamic Structured Query Language (SQL) statement caching feature available with conventional database systems. With the use of this invention, the execution of the SQL statements occurs more rapidly, saving resources and improving performance. Additionally, the Net.Data variables may be automatically replaced with parameter markers, with the Net.Data variables and their values maintained. This provides transparent support for parameter markers.

  • Patent number: 6339771
    Abstract: A system and method for processing a request utilizing a database management system in a computer system is disclosed. The database management system manages at least one database. At least one database subsystem corresponding to the database management system is available. The computer system includes a plurality of worker threads. The method and system include assigning the request to a worker thread of the plurality of worker threads. The worker thread is for aiding in execution of the request. The method and system also include providing a connection to a particular database subsystem for the worker thread and associating the connection with the worker thread if the worker thread has not previously used the particular database subsystem. The method and system further include reusing the connection to the particular database subsystem that is associated with the worker thread if the worker thread has previously used the particular database subsystem.
