  • Optimal data storage and access for clustered data in a relational database
    Patent number: 7552130
    Abstract: A computerized method, program product, and a service that facilitates the storage of multiple rows of data in a relational database. If the data is clustered data, the method, program product and the service first obtains the clustered data from its source. An identifying primary key of the clustered data is resolved, and the clustered data is parsed, compressed and stored as a binary large object (BLOB). The BLOB may be stored within the relational database or may be stored separately. Storage and access times for large amount of data used in relational databases are optimized.

  • Database compression and language for cascading choices
    Publication number: 20040080542
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for displaying, administrating and modifying client-sided cascading choices containing data levels and data items. The invention includes the operations of associating variables for each data level and each data item and generating visibility rules that define the visibility of each data level and each data item at the client display, wherein the visibility rules include at least some of the associated variables.
