When a database transaction is determined to be committed to the database, the change indications may be sent directly from the memory to the stream processor.

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The method computer program products, and systems can include, for instance: receiving by primary database system a query statement that references a first table, wherein the primary database system is associated to a first accelerator database system and a second accelerator database system, wherein modifications performed on tables of the primary database system are iteratively replicated into the first accelerator database system and the second accelerator database system; examining latency data that specifies a latency with which a modification to the first table has been replicated into the first accelerator database system and a latency with which a modification to the first table has been replicated into the second accelerator database system; selecting, in dependence on the examining, the first accelerator database system for execution of the query statement; routing the query statement to the first accelerator database system for execution in response to the selecting.
US11886435B1 Systems and methods for executing queries on tensor datasets
Systems and methods for executing queries on tensor datasets are disclosed. A system can identify a query for a multi-dimensional sample dataset. Each sample of the multi-dimensional sample dataset can include one or more tensors. Each tensor of the one or more tensors can be associated with a respective identifier that is common to each sample of the multi-dimensional sample dataset. The query specifying a first identifier of a first tensor of the multi-dimensional sample dataset and a first range of a first dimension of the first tensor, or one or more operations such as sampling, grouping, ungrouping, or transformation operations, to perform on the first tensor of the multi-dimensional sample dataset. The system can parse the query, and execute the query to generate query results. The system can provide the query results as output.
US11886430B1 Intent-based natural language processing system
Various embodiments of the present application set forth a computer-implemented method that includes receiving, from a device, a natural-language (NL) request. The method further includes selecting, using the NL request, an intent from a set of intents, wherein the intent is associated with a pre-defined intent template, the pre-defined intent template including a set of property fields that are associated with one or more portions of the NL request. The method also includes determining, based on the NL request, a set of property field values for the set of property fields. The method further includes generating a query to be executed on a field-searchable data source, wherein the query is based on one or more property field values included in the set of property field values. The method also includes receiving, in response to the query, a result that includes a set of event field values. In addition, the method includes causing the device to display at least a portion of the result.
US11886426B2 Probabilistic relay for efficient propagation in a blockchain network
A computer-implemented method for a node of a blockchain network comprising receiving or generating data for distribution in the blockchain network, said node having a plurality of interfaces, said data corresponding to an object such as a transaction or a block. The transaction can be a Bitcoin transaction for recordal in a blockchain. The method determines a correlation matrix having correlation coefficients representing the correlation between data processed at each interface of said node. From the correlation matrix a correlation index for each interface is determined. A threshold or indicator is calculated and data or objects such as Bitcoin transactions are relayed from nodes via interfaces according to a set of correlation coefficients of interface receiving the data. An indicator or threshold can derived from the correlation matrix and data is relayed if the correlation between the receiving interface and the other interface is lower than the indicator.
US11886424B2 System versioned table with transactional system time
A method may include receiving a first transaction inserting a record into a database and a second transaction deleting the record from the database. A validity period for the record may be determined based on a first commit time at which the first transaction is committed and a second commit time at which the second transaction is committed. A current table and/or a history table of a system versioned table may be updated to include the record based on the validity period of the record. One or more temporal operations may be performed based on the system versioned table. For example, a time travel operation may be performed to retrieve, based on the system versioned table, one or more records that are valid at a given point in time. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.
US11886422B1 Transactional protocol for snapshot isolation without synchronized clocks
A protocol for implementing ACID transactions that provides snapshot isolation in a distributed setting that does not require synchronized clocks is described. The protocol ensures at commit time that transactions touching common objects do not commit out of order. The protocol can be used in the context of a distributed data lake built on an object store in which clients can transactionally add or remove objects from logical tables.
US11886421B2 Systems, methods, and apparatuses for distributing a metadata driven application to customers and non-customers of a host organization using distributed ledger technology (DLT)
Exemplary systems, implement Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in conjunction with a cloud based computing environment. The system operates receives input for adding a plurality of authorized network participants to a declared application, in which the network participants are granted access rights to the declared application. The system further deploys an executable install package to each of the plurality of authorized network participants for the declared application; in which the executable install package retrieves the metadata for the declared application from the blockchain and displays GUIs specific to the declared application which are auto generated by the executable install package based on the retrieved metadata.
US11886414B2 One-way hashing methodology for database records
Disclosed herein are systems and methods allowing provider server and an analytics server to communicate confidential information but not compromise the anonymity of the customers if the data transmitted in either direction were to be intercepted or otherwise viewed by an unauthorized party, each server is configured to transmit the data records of the customers without any personally identifying information (PII) associated with the customers. The databases may “link” the data records by separately generating customer key identifiers for each unique customer having data in the one or both of the databases, according to predefined parameters and a predetermined one-way hashing algorithm. The unique customer key identifier may then be concatenated to, appended to, or otherwise associated with each data record for a particular customer that is being communicated between the servers.
US11886408B2 System and method for automated extraction and standardization of financial time-series data from semi-structured tabular input
A method and a system for extracting and formatting financial time-series data is provided. The method includes: receiving a first set of tabular data; segmenting the first set of tabular data into a plurality of cells; determining whether each respective cell is a header cell or a content cell; for each header cell, normalizing each of a time period and a metric associated therewith; for each content cell, determining one or more column header cells and one or more row header cells associated. therewith; and generating an output table based on a result thereof.
