  • Patent number: 10013331
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for invoking with a processor executing on a computer a source code parser to obtain source information that includes a first location of an Application Programming Interface (API) call and parameters of the API call in source code of a client application, where the parameters the API call do not include query text for a query that is to be used to access a database; examining a stack trace to determine a second location of the API call in the stack trace; and deriving the query of the API call and a third location of the query in the source code by identifying the query in the stack trace at the location of the API call in the stack trace.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8793271
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for searching a plurality of documents using a dynamically defined ignore string. The ignore string may be specified by a user. An overlay index may be generated over the plurality of documents. The overlay index may include a posting list for each term in the ignore string. Each posting list may specify the documents of the plurality of documents in which the respective term occurs outside of the ignore string. The overlay index may also include a posting list that specifies all occurrences of the ignore string in the plurality of documents. Once generated, a user may search the plurality of documents while occurrences of the ignore string in the plurality of documents are ignored in text-based searches.

  • Publication number: 20110137891
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for collecting client information for client applications running on a client computer, wherein the client information includes a client application identifier for each client application that issues queries to a database along with text of each of the queries that the client application issues; collecting database monitoring information that includes text of each query issued against the database and performance information for each query; combining the client information and the database monitoring information based on the text of the queries to obtain combined information that provides the client application identifier and the performance information for each of the queries; and identifying a problem query and at least one client application that has issued the problem query using the combined information.
