International Classification:

US Classification:

707103R, 707100, 707101, 707 10

Abstract:

A method for determining the dependencies between objects in a system is provided. Determining the dependencies between objects involves analyzing data about the objects and applying rules to the data about the objects. According to one embodiment, a first set of dependencies between a plurality of objects may be based on data in a set of sources and dependency rules, whereas a second set of dependencies between the plurality of objects may be based on data from a different set of sources but the same dependency rules. According to another embodiment, a first set of dependencies between a plurality of objects may be based on data in a set of sources and dependency rules, whereas a second set of dependencies between the plurality of objects is based on data from the same set of sources but different dependency rules.

Abstract:

An approach for reconciling a data warehouse includes automatically identifying, based upon a change made to a definition of an object, one or more other objects in the data warehouse that are affected by the change made to the definition of the object. The object and the other objects may be any type or form of data, for example, database tables or routines, and the invention is not limited to any particular type of object. Dependency analysis is used to evaluate dependency data to identify the one or more other objects affected by the change made to the definition of the object. The dependency data specifies dependencies between the object and the one or more other objects. The dependency data may also specify dependencies between the one or more other objects. As described in more detail hereinafter, the dependency data used may vary depending upon a particular function to be performed. A transformation mechanism may also be updated, in response to the change made to the definition of the object, so that the transformation mechanism can generate the one or more other objects based upon a new object defined by the changed definition of the object.

International Classification:

US Classification:

707/010000

Abstract:

The present invention provides an improved technique for accessing information in a peer-to-peer network. According to specific embodiments of the present invention, each file accessible in the peer-to-peer network is assigned a respective hash ID or fingerprint ID which is used to describe the contents of that file. Files in the peer-to-peer network may be identified and/or accessed based upon their associated hash ID values. In this way it is possible to identify identical files stored in the peer-to-peer network which have different file names and/or other metadata descriptors. Since the content of all files having the same hash ID will be identical, an automated process may be used to retrieve the desired content from one or more of the identified files.

Abstract:

A method of efficiently extracting large data sets from a database includes receiving a query to be executed on a first view of one or more data sources, where previous result sets resulting from previous queries are stored separately from the one or more data sources. The method also includes receiving a current result set from the one or more data sources that is responsive to the query, where the query is reformatted before it is executed such that the result set does not overlap with the previous result sets. The method additionally includes generating a second view that combines the current result set and the one or more previous result sets, where the second view resolves changes in a schema of the one or data sources between when the previous result sets were received and when the current result set is received.
