  • Publication number: 20140222779
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for query generation from a previous result set. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for query generation from a previous result set is provided. The method includes identifying commonalities in a selection of records of a result set produced by a previously issued query against a database in a database management system executing in memory by at least one processor of a host server. The method further includes deriving a query from the identified commonalities that when executed against the database management system would produce the selection of records as the result set. Finally, the method includes storing the derived query for subsequent use in querying the database.

  • Patent number: 8712995
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product for managing records in a storage device. Responsive to receiving a search query, a computer determines a result set for the search query including one or more one records from a record storage device, and determines whether the one or more records contain a link to a profile associated to an individual in a corporate directory. Responsive to determining that the one or more records contain the link to the profile associated with the individual in the corporate directory, the computer accesses the corporate directory and determines a corporate standing of the individual in the corporate directory. Responsive to determining the corporate standing of the individual in the corporate directory, the computer determines a relevancy score for the corporate standing of the individual in the corporate directory.

  • Publication number: 20120167053
    Abstract: An unresolved defect can be identified in a computer program product. It may not be initially known which of a plurality of different code segments of the computer program product are able to be modified to correct to repair the unresolved defect. A subset of the different code segments can be predicted utilizing information contained within a database of previously reported defects. The predicting can be determined based on a set of code segments that were previously modified to correct or repair the previously reported defects as detailed within the database.

  • Publication number: 20110131479
    Abstract: Historical form usage information for a group of fields associated with a graphical user interface (GUI) form is analyzed with a computer processor. Usage characteristics for each of the group of fields associated with the GUI form is indentified within the historical form usage information. The GUI form is automatically changed based upon the identified usage characteristics for each of the group of fields. The changed GUI form is displayed on a display of the computing device.
