Patent number: 11567941Abstract: A database system receives a query and determines that the query includes an inner join between a parent table and a child table. The database system determines that the following relationships exists between the parent table and the child table: referential integrity (“RI”) between a primary key attribute (pk) in the parent table and a foreign key attribute (fk) in the child table and a temporal relationship constraint (“TRC”) between a period attribute in the parent table and a TRC-attribute in the child table. The database system determines that the query satisfies non-temporal join elimination conditions and temporal join elimination conditions and that the query contains no other qualification conditions on the parent table's period attribute and eliminates the inner join when planning execution of the query.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Teradata US, Inc.Inventors: Jaiprakash G Chimanchode, Bhashyam Ramesh, Stephen A Brobst, Pratik Patodi, Dhrubajyoti Roy, Sai Pavan Kumar Pakala

Patent number: 11379267Abstract: A database system receives a query to be processed. The database system has resources. A user assigns the query to a tier of resource allocation priorities in a hierarchy of tiers. The tier has been designated as being automatically managed by the database system. The tier has a plurality of levels of priority for resource allocation (LPRAs). The database system decomposes the query into a first step and a set of subsequent steps. The first step has a beginning and each of the set of subsequent steps has a respective beginning. The database system assigns the first step to a first LPRA, wherein executing the query at the first LPRA is projected by the database system to satisfy a service level goal (SLG) within a on_schedule_range of the SLG.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2021Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Teradata US, Inc.Inventors: Hoa Thu Tran, Stephen A Brobst, Douglas P Brown, Frank Roderic Vandervort

Patent number: 10740283Abstract: A data-warehousing system allows various areas of an enterprise to view data at varying levels of data freshness. The system acquires data that represents an event in the life of a business enterprise, such as a transaction between the enterprise and one of its customers, and loads this data into a database table. The system then makes the data available for retrieval from the table and stores information indicating when the data was made available for retrieval. In some embodiments, the system also acquires data that is related to and more current than the data representing the event and stores the more current data in the database. The system then stores information indicating when the more current data was stored in the database. Such a data warehouse allows decision-makers in the business to see some information (e.g., customer transaction or account data) up-to-the-moment and other information as it stood at some specific point-in-time, such as at the end of the previous month.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2011Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Teradata US, Inc.Inventor: Stephen A.

Patent number: 8407180Abstract: A query is received. It is determined that the query includes an inner join between a parent table and a child table. It is determined that the following relationships exist between the parent table and the child table: referential integrity (“RI”) between a primary key attribute (pk) in the parent table and a foreign key attribute (fk) in the child table, where “attribute” is defined to mean one or more columns, and a temporal relationship constraint (“TRC”) between a period attribute in the parent table and a TRC-attribute in the child table, the TRC-attribute being a date or time attribute. It is determined that the query does not access any attribute in the parent table other than the pk. It is determined that the query specifies an equality predicate of the form pk=fk. It is determined that the query selects a snapshot from the parent using a predicate of the form parent.[period attribute] contains a point in time (t1).Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2010Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Teradata US, Inc.Inventors: Bhashyam Ramesh, Stephen A.

Patent number: 5562104Abstract: A subject's motor skills are quantified by a standardized task in which a user places a pen in a specific position on a tablet. The position of the pen on the tablet in a plane of the tablet and a pressure exerted by the tablet on the pen in a direction transverse to the tablet is sampled while the user performs the task to produce a series of position samples and pressure samples taken at a corresponding sequence of sample times. The series of position and pressure samples and the sequence of sample times are assembled in a data array. The data array is subsequently analyzed to produce a quantitative measure of the user's performance of the task. This includes comparing the position samples to the specific position on the tablet specified by the task.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1994Date of Patent: October 8, 1996Assignee: MoveMap, Inc.Inventors: Fred H.
