摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide one or more hardware-friendly data structures that enable efficient hardware acceleration of database operations. In particular, the present invention employs a column-store format for the database. In the database, column-groups are stored with implicit row ids (RIDs) and a RID-to-primary key column having both column-store and row-store benefits via column hopping and a heap structure for adding new data. Fixed-width column compression allow for easy hardware database processing directly on the compressed data. A global database virtual address space is utilized that allows for arithmetic derivation of any physical address of the data regardless of its location. A word compression dictionary with token compare and sort index is also provided to allow for efficient hardware-based searching of text. A tuple reconstruction process is provided as well that allows hardware to reconstruct a row by stitching together data from multiple column groups.

A method of ensuring availability of event notification registrations of a database management system is described and provided. The method comprises creating the event notification registrations and storing the event notification registrations in a database of the database management system. Further, the event notification registrations are replicated in a designated database management system to create replicated event notification registrations. If the database management system fails, the replicated event notification registrations are utilized.

A computer implemented method and system for automatically removing an event registration within an event notification infrastructure of a database system is disclosed. The method includes removing an event registration from an event queue automatically if a specified active period of time has elapsed. Further, the method includes removing an event registration from an event queue automatically if the event occurred N times where N can be specified at event registration. Also, the method includes removing an event registration from an event queue automatically if either the event occurred N times where N can be specified at event registration or a specified active period of time has elapsed. Moreover, the method includes removing an event registration from an event queue if a client explicitly requests removal of said event registration.

Techniques for managing messages in computer systems are provided. In one embodiment, in response to a publisher attempting to enqueue a message in a queue, a determination is made whether a condition is satisfied. The condition is based on the current usage of the queue by the publisher. Based on whether the condition is satisfied, a decision is made whether to enqueue the message in the queue. The decision whether to enqueue the message may comprise restricting the publisher from enqueueing any more messages in the queue until the same or a different condition is satisfied.

Embodiments of the present invention provide fine grain concurrency control for transactions in the presence of database updates. During operations, each transaction is assigned a snapshot version number or SVN. A SVN refers to a historical snapshot of the database that can be created periodically or on demand. Transactions are thus tied to a particular SVN, such as, when the transaction was created. Queries belonging to the transactions can access data that is consistent as of a point in time, for example, corresponding to the latest SVN when the transaction was created. At various times, data from the database stored in a memory can be updated using the snapshot data corresponding to a SVN. When a transaction is committed, a snapshot of the database with a new SVN is created based on the data modified by the transaction and the snapshot is synchronized to the memory. When a transaction query requires data from a version of the database corresponding to a SVN, the data in the memory may be synchronized with the snapshot data corresponding to that SVN.

Embodiments of the present invention generate and optimize query plans that are at least partially executable in hardware. Upon receiving a query, the query is rewritten and optimized with a bias for hardware execution of fragments of the query. A template-based algorithm may be employed for transforming a query into fragments and then into query tasks. The various query tasks can then be routed to either a hardware accelerator, a software module, or sent back to a database management system for execution. For those tasks routed to the hardware accelerator, the query tasks are compiled into machine code database instructions. In order to optimize query execution, query tasks may be broken into subtasks, rearranged based on available resources of the hardware, pipelined, or branched conditionally

Embodiments of the present invention provide for batch and incremental loading of data into a database. In the present invention, the loader infrastructure utilizes machine code database instructions and hardware acceleration to parallelize the load operations with the I/O operations. A large, hardware accelerator memory is used as staging cache for the load process. The load process also comprises an index profiling phase that enables balanced partitioning of the created indexes to allow for pipelined load. The online incremental loading process may also be performed while serving queries.

A method and mechanism for implementing pipelined prefetching in a computer system is disclosed. Data prefetching is utilized to predictably retrieve information between multiple levels of nodes in the computer system, in which a first server may receive prefetched data from a second server, the second server receives prefetched data from a third server, with the chain of prefetching extending as long as needed/desired to effect efficient data transfers between the nodes.
