Benefits of technology

[0003]The present invention may reduce or eliminate disadvantages and problems often associated with database servers.
[0007]Particular embodiments of the present invention may provide one or more technical advantages. As an example, particular embodiments may enable application, at a logical or network location between one or more clients and one or more database servers, of application-layer functionality to communication between the clients and the database servers. The application-layer functionality at the logical or network location between the clients and the database servers may reside on top of a layer providing functionality for decoding and extracting SQL or other statements from database messages. Particular embodiments may, at a logical or network location between one or more clients and one or more database servers, cache query results from one or more database servers and respond to queries from one or more clients using cached query results. Responding to queries using cached query results may reduce time requirements associated with responding to such queries. Responding to queries using cached query results may also reduce loads on the database servers, which may in turn improve performance of the database servers. Particular embodiments may enable application-layer monitoring, at a logical or network location between one or more clients and one or more database servers, of communication between clients and database servers.

Problems solved by technology

Processing large numbers of database messages at the database server tends to slow response time at the database server, which in turn tends to adversely affect service at the database server to clients.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]FIG. 1 illustrates an example system 10 including a database appliance. System 10 includes one or more clients 12 a database appliance 16, and one or more database servers 18. One or more links couple clients 12, database appliance 16, and database servers 18 to each other. In particular embodiments, a link includes one or more wires in one or more circuit boards, one or more internal or external buses, one or more local area networks (LANs), one or more metropolitan area networks (MANs), one or more wide area networks (WANs), one or more portions of the Internet, or a combination of two or more such links. As an example and not by way of limitation, a link coupling two or more components of system 10 to each other may include one or more of an Ethernet link, a Fibre Channel link, an Infiniband link, and a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) link. Although particular links are described as coupling components of system 10 to each other, the present invention contemplates a...

Abstract

One embodiment includes a system providing application-layer functionality between one or more database clients and one or more database servers. The system includes one or more decoders residing at a decoding layer above a network layer. The decoders reside at a first network location between one or more database clients residing at one or more second network locations and one or more database servers residing at one or more third network locations. The decoders receive database messages communicated from the database clients and intended for the database servers and database messages communicated from the database servers and intended for the database clients, decode the database messages, and extract query-language statements from the database messages. The system also includes an application residing at an application layer above the decoding layer. The application resides at the first network location. The application receives and processes query-language statements extracted at the decoders.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates generally to database systems and more particularly to providing application-layer functionality between one or more database clients and one or more database serversBACKGROUND[0002]A database server providing access to one or more database instances typically processes large numbers of queries, write messages, and other database messages from clients. Processing large numbers of database messages at the database server tends to slow response time at the database server, which in turn tends to adversely affect service at the database server to clients.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present invention may reduce or eliminate disadvantages and problems often associated with database servers.[0004]One embodiment includes a system for application-layer query result caching. The system includes one or more decoders residing at a decoding layer above a network layer. The decoders reside at a first network location between one or more database ...
