| 20100228761 | MAPPING FROM OBJECTS TO DATA MODEL - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to mapping from application objects to an abstract data model. In aspects, a mapper receives registrations that indicate behavior (e.g., how objects are constructed, modified, or examined) of application objects. The behavior may be specified using user-supplied expressions. The mapper aggregates this data and uses it to map application requests for data access into one or more operations that operate on the abstract data model. A data access layer may then translate the operations into actions to access data corresponding to the requests from a store. If appropriate, data obtained from the store may then be inserted into application objects as indicated by the registrations. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100241644 | GRAPH QUERIES OF INFORMATION IN RELATIONAL DATABASE - In one example, information may be stored in a relational database. The information in the database may define a graph, in the sense that the information may define a set of entities and relations between the entities. A user may want to query the information using a graph-based query language. A graph query engine may receive the query, and may convert the query into a relational query language, for execution by the relational database. The relational database may calculate views of the underlying tables. Each view corresponds to a particular relation, and the rows in each view are pairs of entities to which the relation applies. Since the views correspond very closely to the specification of a graph, the graph-based query may be translated into a relational query that performs relational algebraic operations on the views in order to answer the graph-based query. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100250574 | USER DICTIONARY TERM CRITERIA CONDITIONS - Techniques are disclosed for processing an abstract query which includes a dictionary term criteria condition. The dictionary term criteria condition is used to specify a set of one or more keywords, each of which should appear in a distinct document (of a defined set of documents) in order for the condition to be satisfied. In one embodiment, a user defines an abstract query by specifying a model entity (a logical focus for a query used to identify a set of documents associated with the model entity), logical fields (specifying query conditions and information to be returned), and a set of terms for a dictionary term criteria condition. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100250575 | Query Throttling During Query Translation - A computer determines whether an original query expressed in an initial query language includes clauses unsupported by a target query language. If so, the computer separates the original query into a client-side query and one or more server-side queries. The computer then determines whether the client-side query is efficient. If so, the computer translates the one or more server-side queries into one or more supplemental queries expressed in the target query language and receives server-side result sets for the supplemental queries. The computer generates a client-side result set by querying the server-side result sets using the client-side query. The computer returns the client-side result set as a result set of the original query. If the client-side query is not efficient, the computer returns an error message. Thus, by identifying inefficient queries, the computer effectively controls (i.e., throttles) the amount of work performed by the computer to process queries. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100250576 | EXECUTION OF SEMANTIC QUERIES USING RULE EXPANSION - A semantic query may refer to a logical rule, where the rule is defined in terms of constituent expressions. In order to execute the semantic query efficiently, occurrences of the rule may be expanded by replacing the rule with its constituent expressions. Expansion may be performed repeatedly, until only grounded expressions remain. Expressions are grounded when they refer to tables or views that are represented in an underlying database. Once the rule has been reduced to grounded expressions, the semantic query processor may formulate a relational query in terms of the grounded expressions. If the relational query takes into account the various grounded expressions to which the rule reduces, then the portion of the semantic query that refers to the rule may be processed without an excessive number of round trips to the relational database. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20150039642 | Leveraging Structured XML Index Data For Evaluating Database Queries - A query may be rewritten to leverage information stored in a structured XML index. An operator in the query may be analyzed to determine an input source database object for the operator by traversing an operator tree rooted at the operator. The path expressions associated with the operator tree may be fused together to form an effective path expression for the operator. If the effective path expression directly matches a path expression derived from the index, the query may be rewritten using references to the index. Operators in a query that have effective paths that refer to data in the same index table may be grouped together. A single subquery may be written for a group of operators. Also, a structured XML index may be used as an implied schema for indexed XML data. This implied schema may be used to optimize queries that refer to the indexed XML data. | 02-05-2015 |
| 20150046485 | PARAMETER NORMALIZATION FOR IMPROVED CACHE HIT RATE - A normalized caching system is configured to modify one or more parameters of a service request to generate a “normalized” service request, causing the service to return a normalized response.

| 20160117364 | GENERATING IMPERATIVE-LANGUAGE QUERY CODE FROM DECLARATIVE-LANGUAGE QUERY CODE - Innovations in the area of query processing for a database management system (“DBMS”) are presented herein. For example, for a database query, a query engine generates query code in an imperative language (such as a procedural, scripting language) based on query code in a declarative language (such as a structured query language). The query engine can embed the imperative-language query code in an intermediate representation of the database query, which is executed by the DBMS. In many instances (e.g., for non-linear operations of a database query), the imperative-language query code can be executed by the DBMS more quickly and efficiently than the original declarative-language query code. The DBMS returns results of the execution of the database query. | 04-28-2016 |
| 20160140123 | GENERATING A QUERY STATEMENT BASED ON UNSTRUCTURED INPUT - Techniques for generating a query statement to query a dataset may be provided. For example, the query statement can be generated from natural language input, such as a natural language utterance. To do so, the input can be analyzed to detect a sentence, identify words in the sentence, and tag the words with the corresponding word types (e.g., nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.). Expressions using the tags can be generated. Data about the expressions can be inputted to a classifier. Based on a detected pattern associated with the expressions, the classifier can predict a structure of the query statement, such as what expressions correspond to what clauses of the query statement. Based on this prediction, words associated with the expressions can be added to the clauses to generate the query statement and accordingly query the dataset. | 05-19-2016 |
