Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems require complex and time-consuming manual processes for accessing detailed information from databases, often necessitating the involvement of specialized personnel, leading to delays in troubleshooting and potential SLA breaches.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method utilizing a database actuator that electronically connects to servers, generates preconfigured queries, and provides an interactive user interface for executing queries, reducing the need for user-generated queries and enabling faster data access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional manual processes are used to access database information, then data integrity and security are maintained, but the time required to retrieve and analyze data increases significantly (2 hours to 72 hours)
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer (the system with automated query generation and execution capabilities) between the user and the database. This intermediary handles the complex tasks of query formulation, execution, and data retrieval automatically, maintaining security protocols while dramatically reducing the time users need to wait for data access.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring query templates and automatically generating appropriate queries based on user inputs. The system prepares and validates query structures in advance, so when a user requests data, the system can quickly execute pre-prepared query patterns rather than manually constructing each query from scratch.
2Measurement precision
If specialized personnel are involved to run complex database queries, then accurate data retrieval is achieved, but the complexity of the process and dependency on specific individuals increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing any authorized user to access database information without requiring specialized knowledge or involvement of specific personnel. The automated query generation and execution capabilities empower users to independently retrieve the data they need, eliminating dependency on specialized individuals while maintaining retrieval accuracy through systematic processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal system that can handle multiple types of database queries and access patterns through a single interface. The system is designed to work with different database structures and query requirements, making it universally applicable across various scenarios without requiring specialized personnel for each specific case.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual query execution and data extraction processes are used, then flexibility in data analysis is maintained, but productivity and efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates dynamic capabilities by allowing users to input specific parameters and criteria, which automatically generate and execute customized queries. The system adapts to different data retrieval needs while maintaining high speed and efficiency, providing both flexibility and productivity through automated dynamic query generation rather than static manual processes.
Data Source
AI summary
An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a database actuator tool that makes data readily available and enable users to focus on solving the problem rather than searching for data. The database actuator tool represents a browser-based application that may be used to create, store and/or execute a repository of frequently used or needed queries, e.g., SQL queries, using a very friendly and easily configurable user interface. The database actuator tool provides a configure-once and usable-forever by anyone with right entitlements solution. This provides a substantial productivity boost to a team that has a mix of developers and non-developers, including users with and without SQL knowledge. The database actuator tool may be used by various teams and/or applications.
