    摘要: Methods and apparatus for optimizing an abstract query are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention allow an abstract database to optimize an abstract query composed from a set of logical fields. Each logical field includes a field name and an access method used to map the logical field to an underlying physical representation of the data. After a user composes an abstract query and submits it for execution, a runtime component and optimization component may be configured to resolve the abstract query to a physical query of the underlying physical data source using an access method associated with each logical field. In addition, as the runtime component builds a query consistent with the schema of the underlying database, an optimizing component may modify the query using any suitable optimization techniques. Different optimization techniques include optimizations based on logical field metadata, optimizations based on the underlying physical data repositories referenced by an access method and optimizations based on the relationships between logical fields or underlying data structures.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for storing and rendering a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a display area for specifying result fields and operators to define an abstract query. Each result field corresponds to a logical field specification of a data abstraction model abstractly describing data in a database. The GUI further includes a display area for specifying classification fields for the abstract query, each classification field including a result field and a classification definition, and the display area including a result field window displaying available result fields and graphical elements configured to allow specification of classification definitions for one or more selected result fields. The classification definition is suitable for dividing data into a plurality of categories. The GUI further includes a selection element for specifying whether the specified classification fields are included with the abstract query for execution, and another selection element for initiating execution of the abstract query.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and program product are provided for creating an Encoded Matrix Index for a column in a database table. An element of the column for all rows in the database table is compared to a corresponding reference value in a reference data structure, and in response to at least one value for the element of the column not matching the reference value, indicating a variation in a variation data structure and creating a value data structure. Queries executed using the Encoded Matrix Index include terms associated with a sub-column defined in a column of a database table. The variation data structure is accessed to determine whether any variation exists between rows belonging to a sub-column of the database table. If no variation exists, a value is accessed from the reference data structure; otherwise, a value for each row of the sub-column is accessed from a value data structure.

    摘要: Systems and articles of manufacture for query building with selectability of aggregation operations and grouping. Abstract queries are composed on the basis of a data abstraction model abstractly describing data in the database. The abstract queries may include result criterions and aggregation operations to be performed with respect to the result criterions for generating aggregation information. An object is generated containing query entities and allowing a user to selectively (i) generate a first executable query corresponding to the abstract query inclusive of the aggregation operation and aggregation logic; and (ii) generate a second executable query corresponding to the abstract query exclusive of the aggregation operation and aggregation logic.

    摘要: Methods, articles of manufacture and systems for searching collections of data using context sensitive expanded term searching using dynamic term expansion are provided. The collection of data may be a relational database, text document, or any other type of searchable collection of data. In either case, a query including a search condition based on a specified search term may be modified to include additional conditions based on a set of expanded (e.g., conceptually-related) search terms dynamically linked with the query. For some embodiments, a user may be given the ability to choose whether the set of expanded search terms are dynamically linked with the query or not.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for accessing data stored in multiple data sources. Such methods employ an automated software agent to maintain a collection of data sources available for querying. The data sources may all reside within a single local network or may be distributed throughout multiple locations. Generally, the automated software agent searches a given domain for additional data sources according to a defined set of selection criteria. After discovering an additional data source, the automated software agent configures a query application to reflect the availability the additional data source. Further, the automated software agent may periodically evaluate the collection of data sources against the selection criteria and remove those that are either no longer available or no longer satisfy the selection criteria.

    摘要: The present invention is generally directed to a system, method and article of manufacture for accessing data represented abstractly through an abstraction model. In one embodiment, a data repository abstraction layer provides a logical view of an underlying data repository that is independent of the particular manner of data representation. A query abstraction layer is also provided and is based on the data repository abstraction layer. A runtime component performs conversion of an abstract query (i.e., a request for results or a request to modify data) into a form that can be used against a particular physical data representation. Abstract and/or physical queries are transformed according to model entities which define a relationship between logical fields of the data repository abstraction layer.
