  • Publication number: 20210382898
    Abstract: A method for obtaining query response data by a relational database management system (RDBMS) is provided. The method receives a user input query, by a processor associated with the RDBMS, wherein the user input query comprises a query request for a set of data; formats the user input query into a second query language suitable for communication between the RDBMS and a query response interface associated with a second data storage external to the RDBMS, by the processor, to generate a reformatted user input query, wherein the RDBMS is configured to perform query operations using an n-ary tree format, and wherein the query response interface is configured to perform query operations using a binary tree format consisting of two child nodes per non-terminal node of a binary tree; and transmits the reformatted user input query to the query response interface, via a communication device communicatively coupled to the processor.

  • Patent number: 10581676
    Abstract: Computer systems and methods are provided for storing configuration settings for services, and providing values for those configuration settings to services upon request. A configuration setting server system (CSSS) can receive properties files from different services, can extract configuration settings from each of the properties file received, can then determine an appropriate level within a hierarchy of the configuration settings that each configuration setting is to be assigned to, and then write each of the configuration settings to the appropriate level to generate a hierarchical configuration setting structure (HCSS) that is stored in a database such that all configuration settings for each of the services of the cloud infrastructure are stored in a hierarchal configuration.
