| 20100082648 | HASH JOIN USING COLLABORATIVE PARALLEL FILTERING IN INTELLIGENT STORAGE WITH OFFLOADED BLOOM FILTERS - Processing resources at a storage system for a database server are utilized to perform aspects of a join operation that would conventionally be performed by the database server. When requesting a range of data units from a storage system, the database server includes join metadata describing aspects of the join operation for which the data is being requested. The join metadata may be, for instance, a bloom filter. The storage system reads the requested data from disk as normal. However, prior to sending the requested data back to the storage system, the storage system analyzes the raw data based on the join metadata, removing a certain amount of data that is guaranteed to be irrelevant to the join operation. The storage system then returns filtered data to the database server. The database system thereby avoids the unnecessary transfer of certain data between the storage system and the database server. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20100088326 | Service oriented architecture aggregation - A method, system and computer program product for identifying one or more niche services to combine into a common service, wherein the niche service is a part of a service oriented architecture (SOA). The extensible markup language (XML) schema of the one or more niche services is aggregated into a combined XML schema, wherein the combined XML schema is the XML schema of the common service. A web services description language (WSDL) of the one or more niche services are aggregated to establish a combined WSDL, wherein the combined WSDL is the WSDL of the common service. The common service is generated from the combined XML schema and the combined WSDL. The combined WSDL, utilized to identify the combined service, comprises a service provider URL, one or more service operations, and combined XML schema. The combined XML schema is associated with a common service request and a common service response. When the XML schema of the niche service is not equal with the combined XML schema, mediation is invoked. | 04-08-2010 |

| 20100100558 | Method of servicing query statements from a client machine using a database management system (DBMS) employing a relational datastore and a multi-dimensional database (MDDB) - A method of serving query statements from one or more client machines using a database management system (DBMS) employing a relational data store and a multi-dimensional database (MDDB). A query interface is adapted to receive query statements from the client machines, and generate one or more query requests. A query handling mechanism (i) receives each request from the query interface, (ii) extracts a set of dimensions associated with the request, (iii) uses the dimensions to retrieve aggregated fact data from the MDDB, and (iv) forwards retrieved aggregated fact data to the query processing mechanism for subsequent processing. When the query processing mechanism determines that servicing of one or more query requests require data stored in the relational tables, then the query handling mechanism automatically routes the requests to the relational data tables, so that data can be accessed from the relational tables and forwarded to the query processing mechanism for use in servicing the requests, in a manner transparent to the client machine. | 04-22-2010 |

| 20100185634 | DATA TRANFORMATIONS FOR A SOURCE APPLICATION AND MULTIPLE TARGET APPLICATIONS SUPPORTING DIFFERENT DATA FORMATS - Embodiments of the invention allow structured data to be transferred between a source application and target applications that process structured data in different formats.

Once values are registered, the source application transfers the structured data to a transformation engine that applies the rules, using the registered values for the variables, to transform the structured data into a format compatible with the target applications. The transformation engine may also determine distinct sets of variable values and transform structured data based on each distinct set. In doing so, the number of transformed data generated is limited to the number of distinct sets, thereby avoiding generating duplicate transformed data. | 07-22-2010 |
