Abstract: A multilayer cover designed to protect a surface from pets includes a first layer constructed from a polyester material and a second layer coupled to the first layer. The second layer is fixed relative to the first layer. The first layer includes a first top surface having a natural charge and a hydrophilic finish. The natural charge configured to attract solid debris, and the hydrophilic finish configured to activate when contacted by a liquid in order to release the solid debris. The first layer also includes a first bottom surface positioned opposite to the first top surface. The second layer includes a second top surface disposed facing the first bottom surface. The second top surface includes a hydrophobic laminate. A second bottom surface is disposed opposite of the second top surface. The hydrophobic laminate is configured to block liquid from reaching the second bottom surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods include establishment of a first database session with a first database user, determine first session variable values associated with the first database session, the first session variable values including a first tenant value, determine a first workload class based on the first tenant value and on zero or more of the other first session variable values, the first workload class including first parameter values specifying first resource consumption limits, and manage resource consumption of the first database session based on the first parameter values.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for preparing and executing a plan for a query containing joins against one or more tables having multiple partitions includes receiving a query containing joins to execute against one or more tables in a database, where at least one of the tables includes multiple partitions. Prior to executing the query, the method includes preparing a plan to join the multiple partitions using paths between the joined partitions and storing the plan in a cache. During execution of the query, the method includes analyzing one or more clauses of the query to determine which of the joined partitions to prune from the plan, removing from the plan the paths connecting the pruned partitions and executing the plan without the pruned partitions to return a result to the query.
