摘要： A method for publishing relational data as XML by translating XML queries into queries against an relational database. Conversion of the relational database into an XML database is not required. Each relational table is mapped to a virtual XML document, and XML queries are issued over these virtual documents. An XML query is parsed and transformed into a language-neutral intermediate representation, which is a sequence of operations describing how the output document is derived from the underlying relational tables. The intermediate representation is then translated into an SQL query over the underlying relational tables and into instructions for a tagger. The SQL query is executed, and the SQL query results are then fed into the tagger, which follows tagger instructions to generate the marked up output.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for handling NULL values in SQL queries over object oriented data. A two-phase method is used to enable a query evaluator in a two-valued logic environment to properly handle occurrences of NULL values for predicates that involve subqueries, i.e., basic subquery predicates and/or quantified subquery predicates. For basic subquery predicates, negation reduction is performed by applying logical equivalence rules and inverting basic comparators (e.g., transforming =) to eliminate NOTs. Then, transformations are employed for the resulting positive predicates to include NULL value testing, i.e., NULL protection. For quantified subquery predicates, in addition to performing negation reduction, quantified subqueries are converted into existential subqueries. In most cases, this yields a predicate that can be handled using NULL protection transformations for positive predicates. The exception (i.e., a "NOT EXISTS" resulting from the conversion step of a universally quantified subquery) is handled using NULL protection transformations for negative predicates. The evaluation of the NULL tested positive and negative predicates ensures that if a predicate has a NULL value, it is not included in the query result.
摘要翻译：一种用于在面向对象数据的SQL查询中处理NULL值的方法，装置和制品。两阶段方法用于使两值逻辑环境中的查询计算器正确地处理涉及子查询（即基本子查询谓词和/或量化子查询谓词）的谓词的NULL值的出现。对于基本子查询谓词，通过应用逻辑等价规则和反转基本比较器（例如，转换 =）来消除NOT来执行否定减少。然后，对所得到的积极谓词使用变换来包括NULL值测试，即NULL保护。对于量化的子查询谓词，除了执行减法之外，量化的子查询也将转换为存在性子查询。在大多数情况下，这产生了一个谓词，可以使用NULL保护转换来处理积极谓词。使用针对负谓词的NULL保护转换来处理异常（即，由普遍量化的子查询的转换步骤产生的“NOT EXISTS”）。 NULL测试的正和负谓词的评估确保如果谓词具有NULL值，则不包括在查询结果中。

摘要： A computer system identifies a predicate in a computer language containing constant expressions as vacuous. The system identifies distinct variables contained in the predicate and represents the predicate by a set of bounding rectangles. The bounding rectangles are represented in a space having a number of dimensions equal to the number of variables. There are finite limits on dimensions of a bounding rectangle which represent the relationship between the variables in the predicate and the constant expressions in the predicate. The predicate is identified as vacuously FALSE where the set of bounding rectangles is empty.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for a computer-implemented technique for query optimization using a multi-layered object cache. An object-oriented query is executed to retrieve data from a database. The database is stored on a data storage device connected to a computer and queries are run against lower cache layers which have better performance characteristics than the external or upper layers. The multi-layered cache has an application objects (AOs) cache and a data access objects (DAOs) cache, and the application objects include methods deriving data from DAOs. The method includes a step of rewriting the query into a query directed against the DAOs cache, applying a pushdown transformation algorithm to the rewritten query directed against the DAOs cache, and executing the transformed query against the DAOs cache. The method also allows optimizing queries with path expressions by transforming path expression into joins. Another performance optimization includes using a limited data set only including the inserted and updated data, which allows the method to evaluate queries against a subset of a collection of cached objects instead of an entire collection of cached objects.

摘要： A STOP AFTER clause for a relational database management system (RDBMS) structured query language (SQL) causes the RDBMS, in response to a query, to return a query result having at most a predetermined cardinality specified in the query. A query with a STOP AFTER clause is processed by the RDBMS by provision of one or more STOP operators that are inserted into a query execution plan generated by the RDBMS to execute the query. In a conservative policy, STOP operators are inserted in the query execution plan such that no tuples that might be required in the query result are discarded. In contrast, an aggressive policy inserts a STOP operator in the query execution plan wherever it is able to provide a beneficial cardinality reduction. A RESTART operator is inserted into aggressive policy query execution plans to ensure that at least the predetermined number of tuples are returned in the query result, and a final STOP operator is added at or near the root of the plan to ensure that at most the specified number of tuples are produced.
摘要翻译：用于关系数据库管理系统（RDBMS）结构化查询语言（SQL）的STOP AFTER子句使得响应于查询的RDBMS返回具有至多在查询中指定的预定基数的查询结果。使用STOP AFTER子句的查询由RDBMS通过提供插入到由RDBMS生成的查询执行计划中执行查询的一个或多个STOP运算符来处理。在保守的策略中，STOP操作符被插入到查询执行计划中，使得查询结果中可能不需要的元组被丢弃。相比之下，积极的策略在查询执行计划中插入一个STOP运算符，无论它能够提供有益的基数减少。将RESTART运算符插入到积极的策略查询执行计划中，以确保至少在查询结果中返回预定数量的元组，并在计划根部附近添加最终的STOP运算符，以确保最多指定的生成元组数。

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.
