Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for applying query-level and parameter-level display profiles to abstract queries are provided. Display profiles allow users to utilize existing abstract queries for purposes of data analysis. In one embodiment, display profiles are used to change the scope of an existing abstract query or incorporate existing data processing functions into the abstract query.

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for calculating fees for accessing components of a federated database are disclosed. Generally, the federated database may be composed of database components exposed through an externalized data model by a first entity combined with database components from a second entity. The second entity defines a data model describing the structure of the database components made available to the first entity. Using the externalized data model from the second entity, the first entity may construct a composite data model defining the structure of the federated database. The second entity may further define a fee schedule describing how fees are to be calculated for accessing data from the database components described by the externalized data model.

A method, apparatus and article of manufacture for utilizing an abstract derived entity are disclosed. An abstract derived entity is a data object present in an abstract data model that may be referenced by other entities in the abstract data model as though it were a relational table present in a physical data source. In one embodiment, an abstract data model provides data access independent of the manner in which the data is physically represented in a set of physical data sources. In addition, an abstract derived entity may be used to provide aggregate data joined with other non-aggregate data. Aggregate data values are calculated from the column of a relational table, or other sets of input data. In one embodiment, an abstract derived entity may describe a describe relational table comprising a set of aggregate data used to form a column of the relational table joined to other columns formed from the sets of input data specified by the abstract derived entity. The resulting abstract derived table may be queried as though it were an actual relational table stored in a physical data source.

A method and apparatus for defining and processing aggregate data is disclosed. Using database abstraction techniques, a set of logical fields may be used to compose queries of a set of underlying physical data sources. In one embodiment, a logical field may represent an aggregate data value calculated from the elements appearing in a column of a relational table in an underlying physical data source. The elements may be divided into to subsets to calculate multiple aggregate values. An abstract derived entity is a data object present in a database abstraction model that may be accessed as though it were a relational table contained in an underlying physical data source. In one embodiment, columns of the table defined by the abstract derived entity may be populated with aggregate data values joined to other data as specified by a composition rule included in the definition of the abstract derived entity.
摘要:
A method, system and article of manufacture for relationship building based on text-based markup languages and, more particularly, for representing relationships between data elements defined according to a first physical representation of data in a logical representation. The logical representation abstractly describes a second physical representation of the data, which is generated from the first physical representation of the data. On the basis of the relationships between the data elements, logical relationships each defining a path between data structures of the second physical representation are determined and associated with the logical representation.
摘要:
A method, system and article of manufacture for data processing in databases and, more particularly, for providing natural language support in a database environment. One embodiment provides a method of providing natural language support for users running queries against a database. The method comprises providing a data abstraction model comprising a plurality of logical fields abstractly describing physical data residing in the database, and associating the data abstraction model with a language resource component defining a natural language expression for each of the plurality of logical fields.

Aspects of the present embodiments provide an eCommerce environment adapted to accept and process various message types (e.g. cXML and mXML). In general, requests are provided from a requesting entity to an application hosting entity. Data from incoming requests are mapped to a format understandable to an appropriate application(s). Responses from the application(s) are then mapped into a response format acceptable by the requesting entity. To this end, embodiments disclosed herein provide processes for the development and execution of a data driven process for mapping multiple request/response message pairs to a single application interface or set of application interfaces. In one embodiment, these processes are driven by development time and run time documents that describe a development time view of the message pairs and the application interfaces as well as runtime instructions for providing the mappings, respectively.
摘要:
A system, method and article of manufacture for query execution management in a data processing system and more particularly for scheduling execution of queries against one or more databases in a data processing system. One embodiment provides a method for managing query execution in a data processing system. The method comprises providing at least one query execution schedule configured to schedule specific queries against a database in the data processing system, receiving a query against the database, and managing execution of the received query on the basis of the at least one query execution schedule.
摘要:
A method, apparatus and article of manufacture provide a user interface allowing user selection and arrangement of result fields selected, in one embodiment, from a logical model. In one embodiment, the user interface is a graphical user interface and comprises input cells for user-selected logical result fields. The cells are arranged to define a geometric relationship between logical result fields which dictates the combinatorial statement type by which the logical result fields in the cells are related in a query.

An improved antibacterial liquid binder for use as a pre-application binder with cosmetic powders for eye liners, eye shadows and eyebrow makeup including a unique blended mixture of de-ionized water, honey, isopropyl alcohol, potassium alum, propylene glycol, boric acid, and methylparaben, and, more specifically, a new and novel admixture and combination of these ingredients, by weight, as follows: deionized water—70.97%, honey—20.88%, isopropyl alcohol—5.25%, potassium alum—0.9%, propylene glycol—0.9%, boric acid—0.9%, and methylparaben—0.2%. The method for making such improved liquid binder for pre-application combination with cosmetic powders, eye shadows and eyebrow makeup including the steps of adding the potassium alum to the isopropyl alcohol and mixing the combined potassium alum and isopropyl alcohol to form a homogenous solution, adding the boric acid to the combination of potassium alum and isopropyl alcohol and mixing the combined boric acid, potassium alum and isopropyl alcohol to form a homogenous solution, mixing the methylparaben with the propylene glycol to form a homogenous solution, pre-heating the combined liquid solution formed by the mixing of methylparaben with the propylene glycol until the combined liquid solution is homogenous, clear and transparent, pre-heating the honey to reduce the viscosity of the honey, adding the pre-heated homogenous, clear and transparent liquid solution formed of the mixture of methylparaben and propylene glycol to the pre-heated honey, mixing the mixture of methylparaben and propylene glycol with the pre-heated honey to form a homogenous solution, pouring the combination of methylparaben, propylene glycol, honey, isopropyl alcohol, potassium alum, and boric acid into the deionized water and mixing the combination formed thereby to form a homogenous solution.
