Abstract: A method of managing a database system that receives N number of requests from one or more nodes in the database system. The N requests are combined before initiating operations to attend to the requests. The number of operations to attend to the requests is reduced and this reduced number of operations is executed.

Abstract: A method of organizing a data in a database system using a swarm database system that has one or more nodes comprising one or more processors and memory, the memory of the one or more nodes storing one or more programs to be executed by the one or more processors. Identifying data to store in one or more tables on a bucket, wherein the bucket is a allocation of a partitioned storage in a node of the one or more nodes. Assigning to each of the identified data an identifier and a data storage hierarchical level of a plurality of hierarchical levels.

Abstract: A method of managing a database system that includes a swarm database with nodes of processors and memory. The memory stores programs that can be executed on the processors. Determining data files to delete, moving the data files to delete to a trash directory, truncating using a trash daemon, larger files to delete to smaller sized file pieces and deleting the smaller sized file pieces by a local operation system.

Abstract: A method of requesting a search query to be displayed in a web browser. The method includes receiving search terms and slash operators and generating results based on the search terms and slash operators.

Abstract: An apparatus for allowing communications to a target host on a network to be upgraded from a non-secured session to a secured session. The apparatus including a processor; a memory coupled to the processor and storing an access control list; and a network interface coupled to the processor, the network interface communicating with a target host; wherein the memory is configured to cause the processor to: (1) create an access control entry for the target host in the access control list; (2) exchange security information with the target host; (3) update the entry for the target host to include the security information; and, (4) communicate with said target host using said security information.
