摘要： A design and implementation of a client/server framework for federated multi-search and update across heterogeneous datastores. In particular, a technique for manipulating data in one or more heterogeneous datastores at a computer is provided. An object-oriented model is provided for integrating one or more heterogeneous datastores with a federated datastore. One or more heterogeneous datastores and a federated datastore are generated based on the object-oriented model. The generated datastores are organized into a federated composition.

摘要： A method, apparatus and article of manufacture for a universal calling interface for executing a stored procedure in a computer. Parameter information is retrieved from a database catalog and the computer performs type checking against the user-entered parameters. If there is not a type mismatch then the computer executes the stored procedure without the user entering information about the parameters such as address and type.

摘要： The present invention discloses a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for tracking and propagating state changes in a message-driven computer program. In accordance with the present invention, a program in the memory of a computer receives a notification signal indicating that an event has occurred and transitions a first component from a current state to a new state based on the notification signal, wherein the states are represented by discrete objects or components. The computer program propagates, to a second component subordinate to a first component representing the new state, a signal indicating the new state of the first component.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for providing a multi-tier object-relational database architecture are disclosed. In one illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a multi-tier database architecture comprises an object-relational database engine as a top tier, one or more domain-specific extension modules as a bottom tier, and one or more universal extension modules as a middle tier. The individual extension modules of the bottom tier operationally connect with the one or more universal extension modules which, themselves, operationally connect with the database engine. The domain-specific extension modules preferably provide such functions as search, index, and retrieval services of images, video, audio, time series, web pages, text, XML, spatial data, etc. The domain-specific extension modules may include one or more IBM DB2 extenders, Oracle data cartridges and/or Informix datablades, although other domain-specific extension modules may be used.
