  • Patent number: 8468171
    Abstract: Provided is a mechanism wherein key-value structure data are effectively combined, and dynamic changes in the data structure and amount of data are coped with flexibly; and wherein the throughput in frequent reading of simple tables is improved with this mechanism. A flexible data model is built, by making a referring mechanism for referring to attributes, and a referred-to mechanism wherein references to attributes are made, to be a “referring—-referring” element and a “referred-to—-referred-to” element; making a component by sandwiching key-value-store structure data; and combining components having multiple attributes with each other, as a “referring—referred-to” relationship. Furthermore, receiving search results as a key-value-store structure cache will contribute in simplifying accesses by conventional application programs to the aforementioned flexible data model, which by extension will contribute in making the whole application program more high-speed.

  • Publication number: 20120109918
    Abstract: To achieve a multi-transaction processing system which assumes real-time update having practical throughput being a requirement, in multi-transaction processing in which consistency should be maintained. An update access-counter technology is applied which assumes a time when a counter is returned to an initial value depending on the up-down counting of the counter identified by a process ID of a process that is a starting point of multi-transaction processing being the completion of one multi-transaction processing, thus solving the problem.

  • Patent number: 8140498
    Abstract: It is a purpose of this invention to achieve Scale-Out of the distributed database system that assumes a real-time update to be a requirement and which is achieved by dividing the database system into two or more database domains. This is to achieve handling of even larger scale databases while providing even higher performance. Assuming that the large-scale database system has been distributed to two or more of above-mentioned data base domains, in multi transaction processing with real-time update of the database object across two or more of above-mentioned database domain, this invention is achieved by executing the above-mentioned multi transaction processing to the database meta information storage management part in the database meta information management repository device by applying partition topology technology or replication topology technology for exchange and synchronization of meta information such as status information etc. at even higher speeds.

  • Publication number: 20110010338
    Abstract: This invention is a distributed database system, which comprises a plurality of database domains which include one or more databases, and each of database domains is administered by a topology administration server. This topology administration server may have information of database in the database domain, such as data dictionaries, locking information, or data integrity information at join operation, and are transformer to the other topology administration server in the other database domain on the network by peer to peer. This invention makes join overhead such as a two phases commit or replication decrease, and achieve realization of multi instance real time updatable distributed database environment.

  • Publication number: 20110004638
    Abstract: It is a problem of this invention to offer the means to construct a more advanced, more complex system from which it is requested to unite a key-value structural data effectively, and to correspond to a dynamic change in the data structure and volume of data flexibly. In this invention, ‘Reference mechanism to refer to the attribute’ and ‘Referred mechanism because of the reference as the attribute’ add to a key-value structural data. This Key-Value structural data refers to another one to which ‘Reference mechanism to refer to the attribute’ and ‘Referred mechanism because of the reference as the attribute’ are added as an attribute, and this data is referred to from another one to which ‘Reference mechanism to refer to the attribute’ and ‘Referred mechanism because of the reference as the attribute’ are added as the attribute. The problem is solved by such a mechanism's being offered.

  • Publication number: 20060149786
    Abstract: Disclosed is a distributed database system, which effectively utilizes surplus resources of a plurality of computers. For this, a topology administration server device correlates an identifier identifying a database object administered by a database administration device with an identifier identifying the database administration apparatus. When a plurality of computers transmit a cache request including an identifier identifying a database object to the topology administration server device so as to cache the database object, the topology administration server device transfers the cache request to the database administration device so that the database object is transmitted to a computer and cached there. It is also possible to operate a program executing calculation in a computer while referencing the database object cached.
