SCALABLE SPECIFICATION AND SELF-GOVERNANCE FOR AUTONOMOUS DATABASES, CLUSTER DATABASES AND MULTI-TENANT DATABASES IN CLOUD AND ON-PREM ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18492673 titled 'SCALABLE SPECIFICATION AND SELF-GOVERNANCE FOR AUTONOMOUS DATABASES, CLUSTER DATABASES AND MULTI-TENANT DATABASES IN CLOUD AND ON-PREM ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer program product, system, and method for scalable specification and self-governance for autonomous databases, cluster databases, and multi-tenant databases in cloud and on-prem environments. The approach allows for the automatic reconfiguration of consolidated databases and pluggable databases using template-based processes.

  • Scalable specification and self-governance for databases:
 * The approach enables the management of consolidated databases using template-based processes.
 * It allows for automatic reconfiguration of consolidated databases and pluggable databases.
 * One or more monitoring modules and configuration managers are instantiated to detect and adjust configurations based on operating conditions.
  • Potential applications of this technology:
 * Cloud computing environments
 * Multi-tenant database systems
 * Autonomous database management
  • Problems solved by this technology:
 * Manual reconfiguration of databases
 * Scalability issues in database management
 * Ensuring consistency and efficiency in database configurations
  • Benefits of this technology:
 * Automation of database reconfiguration
 * Scalability and flexibility in database management
 * Improved efficiency and consistency in database operations
  • Potential commercial applications of this technology:
 * Database management software companies
 * Cloud service providers
 * Enterprise database solutions
  • Possible prior art:
 * Template-based database configuration systems
 * Automated database management tools
      1. Unanswered Questions:
        1. How does the approach handle security and access control in the reconfiguration of databases?

The abstract does not provide details on how security and access control are managed during the automatic reconfiguration of databases. It would be important to understand how the system ensures that only authorized users can make configuration changes.

        1. What are the potential challenges or limitations of using template-based processes for database reconfiguration?

The abstract does not discuss any potential challenges or limitations that may arise from using template-based processes for database reconfiguration. It would be valuable to explore any drawbacks or constraints associated with this approach, such as template complexity or adaptability to different database environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer program product, system, and computer implemented method for scalable specification and self-governance for autonomous databases, cluster databases, and multi-tenant databases in cloud and on-prem environments. The approach disclosed herein enables management of a consolidated databases using a template-based process that allows for the consolidated databases (CDBs) and pluggable databases (PBDs) to be reconfigured automatically. In some embodiments, the approach instantiates one or more monitoring modules and one or more CDB/PDB configuration managers. These elements can detect relevant changes in the conditions in which CDB instances and open PDBs operate and adjust the configurations thereof in response. The configurations are specified in and adjusted using one or more corresponding templates, where the template comprise a set of rules that may have various interdependencies and specify how to determine what value a particular configuration setting should be to automatically configuration and reconfigure CDB instances and open PDBs.
