G06F 1730

US Classification:

707101, 707102

Abstract:

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for improved performance of table insertion by using multiple tables or multiple threads. A command is executed in a computer to perform a database operation on a relational database stored on a data store connected to the computer. A multi-dimensional database is represented as a relational schema in the relational database, wherein the relational schema includes one or more base tables, related dimension tables, and a key table. Each of the base tables and the key table is accessed concurrently to perform the database operation.

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer products that efficiently determine useful dimensions associated with a database when employing OLAP processing techniques. The present invention enables a user to see at a glance in which queries certain columns and tables are used. The present invention may be implemented with a query miner module that may include a query browser module that improves browsing through queries and their components over the past. The preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an easy to use graphical interface showing the queries, tables, and columns in a tree structure. Further, the preferred embodiment of the present invention presents information about relationships and dimensions associated with a database and about columns, tables, and queries to the user without discernable lag time between the user's request and the generated information.

US Classification:

235385, 235375

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for providing a discovery service that provides a mapping from an electronic product code to electronic product code information services that include information about an item represented by an electronic product code. The discovery service includes a database containing a list of custodians for the item and a service interface through which electronic product code information services and applications can access the entries in the list. The list includes an entry for each custodian. Each entry includes the electronic product code number, a pointer to an electronic product code information service associated with the custodian, and a trip identifier for the item. The service interface includes several services enabling traceability of the item represented by the electronic product code. Methods and apparatus, including computer program products for using a trip identifier in a discovery service are also described.
