摘要： The present invention provides a method and system for constructing one or more a comprehensive summaries of event sequence(s). The present invention approaches the problem of finding the shortest yet most comprehensive summary of an event sequence by transforming this summarization problem into a concrete optimization problem and provides a computer-implementing technique for solving this optimization problem to construct and/or form the basis for constructing the summaries. The summaries describe an entire event sequence while at the same time reveal local associations between events of that sequence. In certain embodiments, the segmentation of the event sequence produced in accordance with the present invention is itself a summary of the event sequence. In other embodiments, the segmentation produced forms a basis for one or more summaries.

摘要： According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system processes a database query, and comprises a computer system including at least one processor. The system identifies one or more expressions within the database query utilizing a database object with value masking. Masking requirements are determined for each identified expression and the database object utilized by that identified expression is replicated to provide masked and actual versions of that database object in response to the masking requirements for that expression including masked values and actual values of that database object. The value masking of the database object is applied to the identified expressions within the database query based on the determined masking requirements to produce search results with masked values for the database query. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for processing a database query in substantially the same manner described above.

摘要： A method of, and system for, interactively accessing information in response to a user command having a predefined operator and specifying one of a plurality of collections of information. The collections of information are stored in an object-oriented database in a hierarchical arrangement of data members. The hierarchical arrangement can include one level of data members and in which one of the data members is composed of a next level of data members. Each data member is stored according to one of a system-specified and a user-specified storage definition. A set of user-specified storage definitions is defined from the plurality of storage definitions. Upon detecting the user command, the specified collection of information is analyzed to determine which data members of the one level are stored according to one of the storage definitions of the set. Each data member not in the set is added to a projection list; each data member in the set is expanded into a next level of data members composing the data member in the set. Expanding can include analyzing each data member of the next level to determine whether it is in the set and if so again expanding up until a specified level of expanding. The projection list is processed to return to the user the information corresponding to the data members in the projection list. The invention may be implemented in a Parser layer of a known layered architecture for database systems.

摘要： An approach that tracks curation history of sensitive information is described. In one embodiment, there is a database that contains a plurality of sensitive information. The database comprises a plurality of base tables and backlog tables for each of the base tables. A curation audit query generator is configured to receive a curation audit expression that specifies sensitive information to be audited and generates a curation audit query from the curation audit expression to run against the database. The curation audit expression contains syntax clauses that specify a time period for the audit, stipulate a specific base table in the database as source of the audit and examine whom is responsible for making changes to the specified sensitive information.

摘要： The system, method, and program of this invention provides for a new type of quantifier that is useful for object-oriented queries that reference collections and nested collections of objects. The invention is applicable to any other type of database where the data has a hierarchical relationship, also. This new type of quantifier is called an outer quantifier. The outer quantifier appears in the language of the query (in the FROM clause) and creates a new runtime semantic. The function and semantics provided by outer quantifiers is similar to that provided partly by left outer joins in relational systems. Outer quantifiers are bound to a null instance if the collection over which they are defined is empty. Outer quantifiers are a simple way of expressing queries so that objects having empty collections of nested objects are included in the result, also.

摘要： The system, method, and program of this invention enables an object language application to issue a query over a view and to receive back, as query results, handles to application type objects which can be further manipulated by the application. A view is defined herein as a collection of a view type, and a view type is defined as a class or type. Object language class definitions are created based upon the view type of the view referenced by the query. Upon receipt of the query referencing a view type, a query engine generates a query plan that builds mock application type objects in memory based upon the view types and having a form consistent with the class definition for a type of object returned as a result.

摘要： Provided are techniques for creating one or more fine-grained access control rules that are associated with a base table. A materialized query table is created from the base table without applying the one or more fine-grained access control rules associated with the base table when obtaining data from the base table. A fine-grained access control protection indicator is turned on for the materialized query table. In response to receiving a direct access request to the materialized query table in a query referencing the materialized query table, access is provided to the data in the materialized query table by applying one or more fine-grained access control rules associated directly with the materialized query table to the data in the materialized query table before returning the data.

摘要： Access to a data element stored within a database object is controlled. A request is received from a user to perform an operation in relation to the database object, the operation including retrieval of information from the data element of the database object. Prior to retrieving information from the data element, a determination is made whether at least a portion of the information from the data element is subject to masking in accordance with an access policy. In response to determining that information from the data element is subject to masking, the request is modified to require that information from the data element be retrieved in a masked condition.
