Patent number: 8275808Abstract: An attribute is received for storage. Whether the attribute is searchable or non-searchable in storage is determined. Storing the attribute as a searchable attribute comprises storing the attribute in a database table corresponding to a hierarchical class-based object. Storing the attribute as a non-searchable attribute comprises storing the attribute together with one or more other non-searchable attributes as a set of attributes. The set of attributes is stored in a database location outside the database table corresponding to the hierarchical class-based object, and the database location is accessed before the database table. A unique attribute identifier is associated with the attribute to distinguish between a name of the attribute and a name of one of the one or more other non-searchable attributes in the event that the name of the attribute and the name of the one of the one or more other non-searchable attributes are assigned the same name.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2012Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Shu-Shang Sam Wei, Roger W.

Patent number: 8244778Abstract: Managing stored content is disclosed. It is determined that a new or modified attribute is to be associated with future-created instances of an object type but not with at least some previously-created instances of the object type. A default intra-type customization that associates the new or modified attribute with future-created instances of the object type, in a manner that results in the new or modified attribute being stored in a database structure that is separate from a type-specific structure configured to store one or more type-based attributes common to both the at least some previously-created and future-created instances of the object type, is associated with the object type.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Shu-Shang Sam Wei, Roger W.
