Publication number: 20050262515Abstract: Methods, systems, and media to enhance browsing of messages in a message queue are disclosed. Embodiments include hardware and/or software for tracking records browsed by one or more agents. The agents are processes designed to collect, process, and/or reformat data for an upperware application, a data warehouse, and/or similar systems. When the agents sets up communications with a queue, the agents may include an attribute setting that instructs the middleware to track the last record browsed and/or the next record to browse. In response to setting the attribute, many embodiments record the current record number, row number, queue identifier, and/or the like in a database with an agent identification (ID). Then, whenever the agent re-establishes communication with the middleware queue using the same ID, the middleware can retrieve the current record number.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2004Publication date: November 24, 2005Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hung Dinh, Teng Hu, Phong Pham

Publication number: 20050102276Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing case insensitive searches of relational databases are provided. With the method and apparatus, an additional attribute value is provided for tables of a relational database that can be defined at table creation time and identifies portions of the tables of the relational database to be either case sensitive or case insensitive. Based on the setting of this attribute, the relational database engine is signaled to either perform case sensitive or case insensitive searches against the corresponding column of the table in the relational database. If the attribute is set, such that case insensitive searching of the column is signaled to the database engine, the database engine automatically generates either an uppercase or lowercase index corresponding to each value in the column. In response to a search request, the index is compared to a corresponding case version of the search term. If there is a match, the original entry in the column, i.e.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2003Publication date: May 12, 2005Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hung Dinh, Teng Hu, Phong Pham
