  • Patent number: 11561956
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for key pattern management. One example method includes receiving a query for a logical database table from an application. A determination is made as to whether the query is a write query. In response to determining that the query is a write query, a determination is made as to whether the query complies with a key pattern configuration that describes keys of records included in a physical database table that is part of a logical table implementation. The physical table includes records of the logical database table that are allowed to be written by the application. The write query is redirected to the physical database table in response to determining that the query complies with the key pattern definition. The query is rejected in response to determining that the query does not comply with the key pattern configuration.

  • Patent number: 10915551
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for, in response to initiation of a deployment to a multi-tenant system, cloning a shared table in a shared container of a database system to provide a cloned table, the shared table corresponding to a plurality of table views in respective tenant containers, providing, within each tenant container of the tenant containers, an updated view to the cloned table, for a data object of the deployment, determining a previous location of the data object within the database system from an object catalog, and a new location of the data object within the database system from a deploy file, and storing the data object in one of the shared container, and a tenant container of a respective tenant based on one or both of the previous location, and the new location of the data object.

  • Publication number: 20200263580
    Abstract: A method and a device intended to purify pollutants from an exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine operated with sulphur containing fuel, in particular of a ship internal combustion engine operated with heavy fuel oil, are provided. Exhaust gas flow is in contact with a solid adsorption agent of the adsorber in a first step and binding in particular acid pollutants, which comprise sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide. The exhaust gas flow is then guided by a second stage of the adsorber realising fine purification of the exhaust gas flow. The adsorption agent of the second stage is used in the first stage as an adsorption agent.

  • Patent number: 10713277
    Abstract: The present disclosure teaches solutions for patching content in database systems. In one example, a deployment package for an upgrade of a database system to a new system is received, and the content is deployed to a shared container. Shared objects are identified that are completely stored in the shared container, and partially-shared objects are identified where those objects have a shared portion in the shared container and a tenant portion in one or more tenant containers. First shared content is determined for the shared objects, while second shared content is determined for partially-shared objects. The first and second shared content is then deployed to the shared container. Local content is determined for the partially-shared objects and is deployed to each tenant container. Local content is then identified for local objects and is also deployed to each respective tenant container. Accordingly, both shared and tenant content is deployed.

  • Patent number: 10621167
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for data separation and write redirection in multi-tenancy database systems. One example method includes providing access to at least one application to a database system. A query is received from an application. A determination is made that the query is associated with a union view that provides unified access to a first read-only table in a shared database container and a first writable table in a tenant database container. A determination is made as to whether the query is a read query or a write query. In response to determining that the query is a read query, the query is processed using the union view. In response to determining that the query is a write query, the query is modified to use the first writable table and the query is processed using the writable table.

  • Patent number: 10482080
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for exchanging shared containers and adapting tenants in database systems. One example method includes receiving a request to deploy a new version of a database system. A deployment package is received that includes new version data. A new shared container is installed in parallel to a current shared container. The new version is deployed to each of multiple tenant containers. Each of the tenant containers is individually linked to the new shared container, including dropping at least one view in each respective tenant container to shared content in the current shared container and adding at least one view in each respective tenant container to the updated shared content in the new shared container. Changed tenant content is deployed to each tenant container. The current shared container is dropped after deployment to each of the multiple tenant containers has completed.

  • Patent number: 10285550
    Abstract: A suction nozzle for a hard-surface suction appliance includes a base body including a suction surface to which a suction channel is connected. A suction unit can be connected on a first side of the base body which is remote from the suction surface in order to form a suction flow. The base body further includes a bottom wall, a top wall, and first and second side walls. The base body is divided into suction chambers by at least first and second partition walls.
