  • Access control framework
    Patent number: 11822692
    Abstract: The described implementations relate to an access control framework for a database system. One implementation can receive, from a user, a request for data that identifies a resource, such as a view that obtains data from a database. The implementation can check the identity of the user to identify user roles associated with the user. The implementation can identify an access policy that is associated with the resource, and a rule that is associated with the access policy and applies to the user roles associated with the user. The rule can be applied to the request for data using attributes of the access policy. For example, if the request for data is a query on a view, the query can be rewritten to apply the rule.

  • Synchronizing records between databases
    Patent number: 8543581
    Abstract: The described implementations relate to synchronizing records between databases. One implementation can cause historical data of a source database to be recorded as entries on a transaction log and can subsequently cause new data of the source database to be recorded on the transaction log in a same manner as the historical data. This implementation can also identify a distinct attribute associated with an individual entry and generate a message that reflects the individual entry.
