DOWNTIME-MINIMIZED DATABASE VERSION DEPLOYMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18187261 titled 'DOWNTIME-MINIMIZED DATABASE VERSION DEPLOYMENT
The abstract of this patent application describes a system and method for updating database versions by determining artifacts of a data schema and view schema, loading current structures of runtime objects, updating runtime objects to target structures, and serving incoming requests using different work processes connected to different view schemas.
- Simplified Explanation: The patent application outlines a process for updating database versions by determining and updating artifacts and structures, and serving incoming requests using different work processes.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Determination of artifacts and structures for database version updates - Loading current structures of runtime objects into a buffer - Updating runtime objects to target structures - Serving incoming requests using different work processes connected to different view schemas
- Potential Applications:
- Database management systems - Software development tools - Data migration processes
- Problems Solved:
- Efficient updating of database versions - Seamless transition between different database schemas - Improved performance in serving incoming requests
- Benefits:
- Streamlined database version updates - Enhanced data management capabilities - Increased efficiency in handling incoming requests
- Commercial Applications:
- Database software companies - IT consulting firms - Data analytics companies
- Prior Art:
- Researchers in database management systems - Developers of data migration tools - Experts in software architecture
- Frequently Updated Research:
- Latest advancements in database version control - Innovations in data schema management
Questions about database version updates: 1. How does this system improve the efficiency of updating database versions? - This system streamlines the process by determining artifacts, updating structures, and serving incoming requests using different work processes. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond database management? - This technology can be applied in software development tools, data migration processes, and other areas requiring efficient schema updates.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods include determination of a plurality of artifacts of a first data schema and a first view schema of a first database version to be updated in a second database version, determination of target structures of a plurality of runtime objects for the second database version based on the artifacts, and loading of current structures of the runtime objects into a runtime buffer of a first work process connected to the first view schema. While the first work process serves first incoming requests using the runtime buffer and the first view schema, the runtime objects are updated to the determined target structures in the first data schema and in a second view schema of the second database version, a second work process is connected to the second view schema, and the second work process serves second incoming requests, the second view schema and the updated first data schema.
