Abstract: Techniques for triggering pipeline execution based on data change (transaction commit) are described. The pipelines can be used for data ingestion or other specified tasks. These tasks can be operational across account, organization, cloud region, and cloud provider boundaries. The tasks can be triggered by commit post-processing. Gates in the tasks can be set up to reference change data capture information. If the gate is satisfied, tasks can be executed to set up data pipelines.

Abstract: A streaming ingest platform can improve latency and expense issues related to uploading data into a cloud data system. The streaming ingest platform can organize the data to be ingested into per-table chunks and per-account blobs. This data may be committed and may be made available for query processing before it is ingested into the target source tables. This significantly improves latency issues. The streaming ingest platform can also accommodate uploading data from various sources with different processing and communication capabilities, such as Internet of Things (IOT) devices.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a database platform maintains a first account and a second account, where the second account has stored therein an attachable-and-detachable database session. The database platform receives, from a second-account user in the second account, a request to grant, to a first-account user in the first account, access to the attachable-and-detachable database session, and responsively grants the requested access. The database platform receives, from the first-account user, an attachment request requesting that the first-account user attach to the attachable-and-detachable database session, and responsively sets the attachable-and-detachable database session as a current database session for the first-account user. The database platform executes at least one command received from the first-account user with respect to the attachable-and-detachable database session.

The securing structure includes a plurality of adjustable straps each connected to the inner surface of the outer shell at a first securing point and a second securing point on opposite sides of the opening. Each of the straps is adjustable with respect to the outer shell to increase or decrease an effective length of the respective strap between the respective securing points, to increase or decrease a distance between the respective securing points and thereby constrict or expand the outer shell.

Abstract: Techniques for creating and using error tables to track errors associated with a base table are described. A command to perform an operation on a base table stored in a network-based data system can be received and executed, causing at least one error. At least one error record corresponding to the at least one error can be inputted into an error table, which is nested with the base table. Contextual information can be added to the at least one error record.

Abstract: A weapon is capable of firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition rounds. The weapon includes a barrel, a chamber member that defines a chamber configured to hold a CT round for firing from the weapon, a non-rotating carrier body, and linkage. The linkage is constructed and arranged to move the chamber member (i) from a firing position in which the chamber member is aligned with the barrel for firing the CT round to an ejection/loading position in which the chamber member is not aligned with the barrel for ejecting a spent CT round and receiving a next CT round in response to the non-rotating carrier body moving away from the barrel, and (ii) from the ejection/loading position to the firing position in response to the non-rotating carrier body moving toward the barrel.

Abstract: An exercise device has a generally spheroidal body having a top, a bottom, a first side, a second side, a front, and a rear, a first handle extending outwardly from the first side, the first handle comprising a grip spaced from the body; and a second handle extending outwardly from the second side, the second handle comprising a grip spaced from the body, wherein the first and second handles extend upwardly towards the top of said body at an angle relative to a horizontal plane through the body. Exercise devices of different masses may have different sized bodies, but have approximately the same total width from handle to handle.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for a stream object configuration, including configuring and processing streams on views and streams on tables. For example, a method includes parsing, by at least one hardware processor, a received query to determine a plurality of data processing operations associated with a base table. A stream object on the base table is generated. The stream object includes a plurality of query results from executing the plurality of data processing operations and a corresponding plurality of time stamps of times the plurality of query results are obtained. A stream expansion of the stream object is performed. The stream expansion is based on computing changes to the base table from the plurality of data processing operations.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for a stream object configuration, including query processing of stream objects using stream expansion. For example, a method includes decoding a query to obtain a first data processing operation and a first stream object. The first stream object is associated with a view on a base table. A first stream expansion on the first stream object is performed. The first stream expansion is based on generating a second stream object on the base table. A second stream expansion of the second stream object is performed. The second stream expansion is based on replacing the second stream object with at least a second data processing operation. The query is executed based on completing the first data processing operation and the at least a second data processing operation.

Abstract: A system for a materialized table (MT) refresh using multiple processing pipelines includes at least one hardware processor coupled to memory storing instructions. The instructions cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations including determining dependencies among a plurality of intermediate MTs generated from a source MT. The source MT uses a table definition with a query on one or more base tables and a lag duration value. A graph snapshot of dependencies among the plurality of intermediate MTs is generated. Processing pipelines are configured. Each of the processing pipelines corresponds to a subset of the plurality of intermediate MTs indicated by the graph snapshot. Responsive to detecting an instruction for a refresh operation on the source MT, refreshes on corresponding intermediate MTs of the plurality of intermediate MTs in each processing pipeline of the processing pipelines are performed to complete the refresh operation on the source MT.

Abstract: A method includes retrieving a plurality of materialized tables (MTs). Each of the plurality of MTs includes a lag duration and refers to a corresponding base table of a plurality of base tables. The lag duration indicates a maximum time period that a result of a prior refresh of a query on the corresponding base table can lag behind a current time instance. A plurality of time instances for the MT is determined based on the lag duration and a number of prior refreshes of the corresponding base table. A plurality of aligned time instances for the plurality of MTs is determined based on the plurality of time instances for each of the plurality of MTs. Refresh operations are scheduled for the plurality of MTs at one or more of the plurality of aligned time instances that are within the maximum time period.

Abstract: A system or persistent table may be generated storing changelog information of a primary base table. The system table may then be used to create streams of relevant information. In some examples, the streams may read from the system table for information past a retention period of the primary table while reading from the primary table information in the retention period.

Abstract: A credentials store definition identifying a remote credential store is received. The credential store definition includes access information to enable access to the remote credentials store. A credentials object is created in an internal database based on a credentials object definition. The credentials object identifies a security credential to retrieve from the remote credentials store to access an external resource. At runtime, a request to access the external resource is received, and based on receiving the request, the security credentials identified by the credentials object are retrieved from the remote credential store using the access information. The retrieved security credential is provided to a processing component to access the external resource.

Abstract: Techniques described herein can enable stream replication. A first deployment can store a table including one or more streams. The techniques described herein can be used to replicate the table at a second deployment while replicating the one or more streams associated with the table. Select prior table versions and partitions in the table are copied to the second deployment to enable stream replication.

Abstract: Hybrid tables can be used in different use-case scenarios. Hybrid tables provide a flexible mechanism to support files and data in different formats while providing access to the different types of data as part of one table. This flexibility can allow the use of hybrid tables in data lake or other similar environments.
