Techniques are provided for facilitating uniform access control to data managed by a database server that can emulate hierarchically organized systems, whether the data is accessed through hierarchical or relational access mechanisms. A database server that can emulate hierarchically organized systems uses separate relational or object-relational database tables to store the content of the resources that belong to a hierarchy (the “content structures”) and information that captures the hierarchy (the “hierarchy structures”). Both types of structures contain access control data that define consistent user access privileges. To determine access privileges for a user requesting access to data in the database, access control information is accessed in the hierarchy structures when the request is made through the hierarchical access mechanism, or accessed in the content structures when the request is made through a relational access mechanism. Access control is consistent between the hierarchical or relational access mechanisms because access through either is governed by user access data that reflects the same privileges.

A system, methods and apparatus are described involving the self-organizing dynamics of networks of distributed computers. The system is comprised of complex networks of databases.

The proposed system and method embodiments allow placing advertisements and searching for items within a network (Internet, intranets, etc.), particularly encompass server advertiser and consumer programs associated with database means, provide for multi-language, multi-currency, multi-items entry, multi-location, geographical-category and catalog-category resolution, multi-parameters setting, and other types of support. The method may include combinations of a normalized category suggestion, user feedback category / listing suggestion, custom-made category creation, and regular keyword search modes for placement and search phases. The user feedback suggestion is provided by the system memorizing previous user-approved linkages between entered keyterms and respective categories or listings, and then proposing them to current users entering similar keyterms. The normalized category suggestion is generated by the system storing records preferably based on a normalized data hierarchy. The custom-made categories may be converted into relational, object-relational, or object-oriented database records. Such modes facilitate placement and search for users of different skills levels.

Techniques for managing data stored within a database, such as a decentralized database are provided. Some techniques involve managing some data within a lower-trust database and some other data within a higher-trust database. A higher-trust database may be a decentralize database including a blockchain. A lower-trust database may store references to data within the blockchain, and optionally other data in association with those references. Disclosed techniques include WHERE clause query handling in databases with reference values, replacement of distinct data in a relational database with a distinct reference to that data, number line storing for secure indexing, APIs for databases, and consensus operations for private blockchain networks.

Information hierarchies are efficiently stored and accessed in a relational or object-relational database system. A path signature, similar to a pathname, is stored in a database system in association with data for the node identified by the pathname. For example, a path signature identifying an element is stored in a row that holds data for the element. To retrieve data for a hierarchical query that identifies the data requested using, for example, an XPATH string, a string pattern is generated that is matched by path signatures identified by the XPATH string. Pattern matching is then used to select rows associated with matching path signatures, and data from the selected rows is used to compute the XPATH query. Furthermore, hash values representing path signatures are generated in a way that preserves the ordering of data in an information hierarchy. The hash values can be indexed to provide quick access.

Object-relational database systems process XML values in a way that preserves node identities of nodes in the XML values and perform node-id based operations more efficiently or even in circumstances where such operations were not performed. An object-relational database system represents an XML value as a serialized stream of bytes, herein referred to as a serialized image. A serialized image may represent an XML value of the XMLType that is stored and / or generated by an object-relational database system. The serialized image contains one or more node identifiers that identify nodes within the XML value. The serialized image may also contain a pointer to an in-memory representation of the XML value, allowing the in-memory representation to be accessed via the pointer without having re-create the in-memory representation.

Techniques are disclosed for using geographical taxonomy data in network-accessible registries (such as the Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration, or “UDDI”, registry), where this taxonomy data leverages spatial extenders within spatially-enabled databases.

The invention relates to a method for migrating data from a non-relational database to a relational database. The method comprises the following steps: connecting the non-relational database needing data migration, and obtaining table information in the database; selecting a table needing data migration and a database mode definition method, wherein the selectable database mode definition method comprises user definition, union set compatibility, intersection compatibility, and first article data; guiding the information from the non-relational database to a defined xml document; converting the database design mode of the non-relational database to a design mode of the corresponding relational database; connecting the corresponding relational database, and setting up a corresponding data table according to the database design mode in the xml document; setting up a corresponding index according to index information in the index element. The method for migrating data solves the problems of a denormalization design, non-modeling and special data types when data are migrated from the non-relational database (such as a MonogDB) to the relational database.

A method and system for storing and retrieving data in an object-relational database system includes receiving a query which results in a request to load a first object. The method also includes identifying relationship types of other objects having a relationship with the first object. Then, the first object and those of the other objects which have a composition relationship with the first object are eager loaded. Those of the other objects which have an association relationship with the first object are marked as fault on demand. Preventing re-faulting of the same object in the same object graph, and trimming of graphs for serialization are also provided.

Techniques for replicating a database object of a relational database managed by a database system from a first node on a network to a second node on the network include determining that the database object on the first node includes a user-defined object. A first routine of the database system is invoked. The first routine performs the step of copying the database object to the second node of the network. The first routine copies a name of a user-defined defined type of the user-defined object from the first node to the second node. The first routine also copies a first definition of the user-defined type from the first node to the second node. The first routine then copies a second definition of the database object from the first node to the second node. The second definition includes the name of the user-defined type. These techniques provide the benefits of peer-to-peer replication in a distributed database to users of object-relational databases that including user-defined objects.

The TABLE function mechanism available in a RDBMS is used to integrate RDF models into SQL queries. The table function invocation takes parameters including an RDF pattern, an RDF model, and an RDF rule base and returns result rows to the SQL query that contain RDF triples resulting from the application of the pattern to the triples of the model and the triples inferred by applying the rule base to the model. The RDBMS includes relational representations of the triples and the rules. Optimizations include indexes and materialized views of the representations of the triples, precomputed inferred triples, and a method associated with the TABLE function that rewrites the part of the SQL query that contains the TABLE function invocation as an equivalent SQL string. The latter technique is generally applicable to TABLE functions.
