  • Patent number: 11914573
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for relational database locks based on columns. Database transactions may be targeted to specific columns of one or more records, instead of the entire row for those records, using primary keys. Column locks on specific keys are stored separately than column locks on ranges of keys, which are both checked when requesting a new column lock for either a single key or a range of keys. When a threshold number of columns for a given record, or range of records/keys, have been locked, the column locks for that record, or range of records, can be combined into a single row level lock to reduce resource costs for maintaining multiple concurrent locks.

  • Patent number: 11914594
    Abstract: A disclosed database system and enhanced methods implement enhanced mini-plans and dynamically changing a query mini-plan with trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve query execution performance in a database system. An AI cost model evaluates candidate mini-plans for executing a query. AI truth monitors evaluate the execution of the mini-plans, such as predicted input factors and adjusted mini-plans of one or more AI running data models. The AI truth monitors provide feedback to adjust the AI cost model based on evaluating the execution of the mini-plans. The AI truth monitors validate adjusted mini-plans, provide feedback to the AI cost model with improved overall prediction accuracy, and enhanced mini-plans to gain query performance.

  • Publication number: 20240045878
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for building and using a sparse Time Series Database (TSDB). Time series records are received from a native TSDB, where each of the time series records includes a timestamp and one or more tags. Timeslots are determined for shards for the sparse TSDB based on the timestamp included in each of the time series records. The sparse TSDB is built by creating the shards for the determined timeslots and storing the time series records in the shards, while filling in empty ranges in the shards. A query that specifies at least one of the one or more tags is received. It is determined whether to execute the query against the sparse TSDB, and, in response to a determination to execute the query against the sparse TSDB, the query is executed against the sparse TSDB to generate results that are returned.
