Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a system including agents for inserting annotations into query text of queries run on a set of tables in a set of databases by applications on which the agents are installed, a collector that collects and processes metadata regarding the queries and tables queried, a metadata aggregator that receives the query metadata processed by the collector and aggregates the received query metadata based on a grouping of queries along a shared query metadata attribute that is derived from the query annotation included in the query text data, and a display generator that generates a display of query execution performance for each of a plurality of groups of queries, the plurality of groups having a same value associated with a first query metadata attribute, each group of queries in the plurality of groups of queries having a different value associated with a second query metadata attribute.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for communication between a communication device and a content provider associated with an internet domain name and a server. The system includes a network with a user interface, an internet connection, and an interface to the content provider's internet domain. A communication device user enters a concise message request which includes a channel, a designator and, optionally, a request instruction. The combination of the channel and the designator specify a location on the internet at which routing instructions reside for responding to the concise message request and generating a concise message response for output to the communication device. Concise message documents can be generated for effecting financial transactions such as purchases and payments via SMS. CMRL can also be used to route person-to-person messaging through a content provider's internet domain at which the users may be registered.
