Described herein are approaches to implementing dynamic sampling in a way that lessens or eliminates the additional overhead incurred to perform dynamic sampling. Also described are techniques for determining characteristics about predicates not previously determined by conventional techniques for dynamic sampling. Dynamic sampling is used by a query optimizer to dynamically estimate predicate selectivities and statistics. When a database statement is received by a database server, an initial analysis of the database statement is made to determine the efficacy of dynamic sampling, that is, to determine whether optimization of the query would benefit from dynamic sampling and whether performance is not excessively impacted by the dynamic sampling process. If this analysis determines dynamic sampling should be used, then dynamic sampling is undertaken.

A method and associated apparatus for use in an automated sign generator to produce enhanced special effect graphics and single layer multi-color signs on a vinyl sheet material uses a paint pen carried by the tool head of the generator which in coordinated movement with the vinyl sheet traces the shape of the sign. In one embodiment, the sheet material is cut along a line falling within the painted stripe defining the graphic. The cut graphic having the desired visual special effect is removed from the sheet material along the cut line. The apparatus further includes a guide wheel assembly located between a material deflector and a feed roller for riding along the marginal portions of the sheet material causing it to move along a broken plane path to prevent buckling as it moves relative to the tool head and to prevent smudging of the painted graphic. A cam clip assembly is located behind the feed roller and intermediate the feed roller and a cam shaft and rides along the marginal portions of the sheet material to cause the material to move along a broken plane path to prevent its buckling and avoid smearing of a painted graphic on the surface. A paint pen which is interchangeable with a cutting tool is carried by the tool head and includes a number of interchangeable paint nibs.

A system and method for answering a relational database query is presented. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a database query is received. It is then determined whether that query can be rewritten in such a manner as to be able to utilize a precomputed view, such that an answer to the rewritten query is equivalent to an answer to the original query. If the query can be rewritten, it is determined whether the rewritten query can more efficiently derive the answer than the original query. The query which has the most efficiently derived answer is the query which is utilized to derive that answer.

Apparatus, system and method for performing an action such as accessing supplementary data and/or executing software on a device capable of receiving multimedia are disclosed. After multimedia is received, a monitoring code is detected and a signature is extracted in response thereto from an audio portion of the multimedia. The ancillary code includes a plurality of code symbols arranged in a plurality of layers in a predetermined time period, and the signature is extracted from features of the audio of the multimedia. Supplementary data is accessed and/or software is executed using the detected code and/or signature.
摘要:
Methods and systems for rewriting database queries, and in particular databases using Structured Query Language (SQL). The method comprises the steps of reviewing a SQL query statement having a SELECT list to determine if a view definition of the query has one or more unreferenced view columns; and removing at least one of the one or more unreferenced view columns from the view definition. The step of removing at least one of the one or more unreferenced view columns may also include removing all of the one or more unreferenced view columns from the view definition. This method improves performance of a query given that the spool file generated by the query rule contains minimal amount of data necessary for the query to be processed.
摘要:
A carrot processing machine having an accumulation well, an elevating conveyor (16), and sensing means (18, 20, 22, 24). Carrots are delivered into the well by a delivery conveyor and a constant head of carrots maintained by signals derived from a height sensing means controlling the delivery conveyor. The elevating conveyor (16) is provided with a series of pockets (28, 30, 32, 34) into which the carrots are urged by vibration of the well. Cutting blades (124, 126, 128, 130) are provided further along the conveyor for topping and tailing the carrots and segmenting them into short lengths. Endwise movement of the carrots (in their pockets) is achieved by engagement between transversely extending endless belts and the carrots in the conveyor pockets or by tilting the conveyor.
