    摘要: A handheld electronic book reader, program product, and method incorporate enhanced annotation and/or usage tracking capabilities. Support is provided for user creation of “contexts” for defined terms in an electronic document. Moreover, annotation data such as contexts, comments and highlighting may be associated with various users, and displayed in connection with the display of an electronic document so as to indicate that different annotation data has been originated by different users. In addition, from the standpoint of usage tracking, usage statistics for an electronic document displayed in a handheld electronic reader may be generated on a page-by-page basis, and/or in association with term definitions. Moreover, usage statistics for multiple users may be combined and analyzed. Through such analysis, the usage statistics may be used in the conduct of various beneficial actions such as revising an electronic document, revising a lesson plan with which an electronic document is associated, determining whether a user has read a selected portion of an electronic document, or determining whether a user needs supplemental assistance.

    摘要: A system, method and article of manufacture for identifying mergeable data in a data processing system and, more particularly, for identifying correlated columns from one or more database tables. One embodiment comprises determining correlation attributes for a first column and a second column from one or more database tables. The correlation attributes describe for each column at least one of the column and content of the column. The correlation attributes from the first and second column are compared and similarities between the first and second column are identified on the basis of the comparison. Then, on the basis of the identified similarities, it is determined whether the first and second columns are correlated. Only if the columns are determined to be correlated, the first and second columns are merged.

    摘要: An apparatus, program product and method for determining a cost for using a standby resource that accounts for the cause for the resource's usage. A standby resource, such as a processor, is activated in response to a resource requirement. The cause of the resource requirement is automatically determined. The result of that automatic determination is used to determine a charge indicator for using the standby resource. For instance, performance code associated with a failure may be associated with a charge indicator. A user may later be billed according to the determined charge indicator, i.e., according to their actual use of the standby resource and/or their usage status.

    摘要: An apparatus and method provide inter-job breakpoints by defining a condition for a first job and an action for a second job. When the condition in the first job is satisfied, the action in the second job is performed. The condition in the first job can be the start of execution of a specified portion of code in the first job, the end of execution of a specified portion of code in the first job, or the satisfying of some other condition(s) in the first job. The action in the second job can be the halting of the second job or the enabling of a breakpoint in the second job. Inter-job breakpoints greatly enhance the utility of a debugger by performing an action in one job based on a detected condition in a different job.

    摘要: A system, method and article of manufacture for query execution management in a data processing system and, more particularly, for optimizing execution of queries that are repeatedly executed against one or more databases in a data processing system. One embodiment provides a method for optimizing execution of a query that is repeatedly issued from an issuing entity against a database. The method comprises executing the query against the database to obtain an initial query result, returning the initial query result to the issuing entity, and managing re-execution of the query. Managing the re-execution comprises storing the initial query result in a temporary query result data structure, executing a trigger procedure for tracking database changes, when the trigger procedure detects a database change, updating the temporary query result data structure on the basis of the detected database change, and when the query is re-executed against the database, returning the temporary query result data structure to the issuing entity as query result.

    摘要: A computer system, program product and method debug an object-oriented computer program by tracking the creation of objects by a plurality of creators (e.g., constructor methods) of a selected class. A user need not separately track each creator. Instead, a debugger identifies each creator and associates breakpoints with all or a user-specified subset of creators to facilitate tracking. Any of the breakpoints may then trigger a halting of execution during debugging. Moreover, in some instances it may be desirable to track the number of creations by all or the subset of the creators for the selected class during program execution until a user-specified condition is satisfied, whereupon program execution is terminated and debugging information is provided to the user.
