Abstract: A query rewriting processor (processor) analyzes database semantic models (e.g., RDF knowledge graphs) that capture the interconnections (e.g., foreign and primary key links to other tables) present in a relational database. The processor generates an enriched model query given an initial model query (e.g., a SPARQL query) against the semantic model. The processor generates the enriched model query and translates the enriched model query into a relational database query (e.g., an SQL query). The processor may then pass the relational database query to another system or process (e.g., a data virtualization layer) for execution against the individual relational databases. In this manner, the processor automatically translates queries for information about the relational database structure to a corresponding or matching query for data from the relational database structure.

Abstract: A method reads and writes data from a database table. Each row in the table has a primary key and multiple non-key columns. Each non-key column has one or more column values, and each column value has an associated timestamp that identifies when the column value was stored. The timestamps associated with the column values in each non-key column provide a unique order for the column values. A read transaction is initiated to read from a first non-key column of a first row. A write transaction is in progress that is updating a second non-key column of the first row, where the second non-key column is distinct from the first non-key column. The write transaction holds a lock on the second non-key column of the first row. The method concurrently reads the data from the first non-key column and writes a new column value to the second non-key column.
